Gorse Clearance

[Parker]

or failing that a method we have used for harvesting heather brash, there is a contractor (cant remember his name but can get it if your interested) who has a double chop forage harvester, which blows the brash into a modified trailer, so all the debris ends up in those 1ton builders bags, once its full you just drop them off and put some more in and they can be collected or burnt at lesuire?

 

We use a forage havester on all the smaller stuff and on the heather but a lot of the gorse we are cutting this year has become too degenerate (stands 7ft tall) and so the haveseter can't cope with this stuff.
