This is my rig, 

its towable, its crane feedable, I can remove chip, I can also stick the digger in the lorry for one complete unit 

the only downside is that the chipper is a bit sinky in winter and you need a bloke to operate chipper controls, i could get this automated for about £1.5k

How much does the digger weigh? do you just use it for loading brash?

I hear you Ben, each job is different.
Are you sure staff are an asset?
You can get in real bother when you try to sell them.

I tend not to bother selling the staff, just wear them out and throw them away..

Another day spent felling trees & chipping up...little Vermeer is excellent for moving logs, makes life easier feeding the chipper.

There will no doubt be jobs where man power wins,maybe a digger & big chipper would be better

The digger is 2.8 tonne it's barely legal towing behind my ranger. I put it on my lorry if towing multiple implements, 

i have a flail as well, and 2/3 grapple for raking out

What a setup, I'm slightly aroused by that [emoji14][emoji857][emoji1360], I love a bit of heave kit.

It's good better than I thought it would be, 

you can slew and mulch fine you can't really track and flail

it beats brush cutting
