Bid that tree!

$1600...and I'm probably flopping leads

 

[RyanCafferky]

I would roll up with my truck and chipper. If we had to haul wood I would drop off the Avant. Be in and out by lunch time if we can flop leads into the street. $1600 with no stump grinding seems fair.

tree fitty

 

[Treetopflyer]

Little more than they wanna pay and little less than I wanna make - that's usually fair

 

[Treetopflyer]

Wait wrong thread lol that's my sales tactics kicking in again

 

[cody willard]

$2300 with stump grinding. Chip truck, chipper, Giant 254 Tele HD, and a 16’ dump trailer. Two person crew, 5.5-6 hours. Tulsa, Oklahoma

With 40ton crane 2.5 hours.

 

[Barc Buster]

I’d probably get 2k no stump work. Just me, 1 ton truck, little chipper, dingo, and trailer.

Prob in the $1600 range here with leaving firewood wood, and leaving the stump.
I’d let the two guys chew on it and expect them to be done in a short day.
If I were on the crew I’d bring the mini and expect a little under half a day.
At this point as long as the guys are paying for themselves and the over head an a little profit I’d rather just do my thang or bust out a couple of small jobs doubling or tripling the daily gross. Either that or just not work.

I would worry about the sidewalk.

Pls film it!!

I would worry about the sidewalk.

"It was like that when I got here"

 

[Boomslang]

I'm not exactly sure why but I'm very hesitant to drop stuff in the street. Trying to keep a low profile I guess.

Depends on the area. Quiet, low traffic area...let 'er fly. Ritzy, high traffic area...let 'er fly, but with someone in the street to yell "Car!"

I would worry about the sidewalk.

I would worry about the sidewalk too, and a couple of those leads get pretty wide. From the picture, I would probably bid it around $2500, expecting to piece it down to keep all the wood away from the sidewalk and driveway.

Cost: $900. working solo to safely drop it all in the yard. Homeowner cleans it up.
Gear: 3 saws; 1/2" & 5/8" rigging lines; half dozen rigging rings on slings; climbing gear. Full day project, maybe more.
Probably would not get the job. But then, I wouldn't bid it.

 

[SeanRuel]

Is that some kind of populus? How does that sp. hinge? I've been really into gap face cuts to keep logs on stumps and minimize smasheration. Similar estimate maybe 2k and probably flopping leads

2 trucks dump trailer, chipper, and mini

 

[SeanRuel]

I'm rusty with species that aren't red spruce or red oak, spoiled for hingewood around here-

If you can't flop it all confidently, can you set a block in a stout leader and slash cut leaders hung off the block, then controlled lower whole stems?

 

[Shadowscape]

Sadly homeowners in these parts would pretty much never go for a cut and leave arrangement like that. We've done it only a few times when someone asked how they could save a buck.

Yea, I get it. It would not be likely I would bid on such a project in the first place. If I can't leave it, I'll burn it where it is. But they probably wouldn't go for that either. Fortunately, I don't have to haul trees away where I am. Saves a lot of cost for both parties. If it is a definite, got to have it removed, I'll refer them to someone else.

1600-2200 would be my range but I have not seen it or know the logistics of the area or the particulars of the job. Looks good from my recliner.
