Most efficient way of processing brash on site?

[simonm]

We seem to be doing more & more jobs where having a bigger chipper on site with some sort of crane would be a god send, we have a tw 280 & skid steer which isnt ideal crane feeding but on the right stuff its so effective its unreal...

Its got me thinking throwing bodies at the job is not always the best way, 2 men feeding a chipper is enough any more and your in each others way.

Would a bigger chipper with 360 be even better? Or a purpose built chipper  & crane combo be even better?

Id be trying a mini digger and grab next Simon

It then means 2 vehicles to take what 1 machine could do, a digger would be more versatile.

If your are processing so much surely you would need 2 or more trucks.

But why have 2 vehicles? if its site work & chip is staying, 32 t beaver tail with hiab, track chipper onto back with loader & away u go, crane timber on, drop it off go back & pick tackle up

You most be talking about artic  so what the problem taking chipper and digger to site

[swinny]

7.5t truck digger on back tracked chipper in trailer behind...

[simonm]

Rigid...no problem...but why shell out for 2 machines that need 2 men to operate when 1 man with 1 machine could do.

how tidy do you have to leave the sites could you mulch them? if not   crane fed medium size as here http://www.jaspwilson.co.uk/en/tp-chipper-320-tractor-pto-crane-fed-uk   can be effective or crane mounted on tractor enabling you to forward/load without the chipper attached,  remote control of chipper is advisable, cable or wireless, and some models are only crane fed,  Jensen, TP, Schliesing,  Junkkari, bandit,  hiezohack among some of the potential
