PTO chipper recommendations

I've got a job booked for later in summer where we're going to end up with the brash from 1000t plus of softwood on an extraction track. There is nowhere to burn it, there is nowhere to windrow it and I think chipping it is the best option.

 

Can any of you possibly recommend a PTO chipper for the job? I've got a Valtra N92 (100hp) with roofmount crane to feed it, and someone once said to me you need 7hp per inch, so I could theoretically go to 14inch, though 12inch seems more sensible. Would be handy if it had the option of producing biomass grade chip (ie, has screens).

Something like a TP270 might work well for you. I've been on the look out for a tp250 for a while and the whole range seems to get pretty good feedback.

There’s one on mascus this week. 

Fuelwood in Warwick I think

Thanks for all of the recommendations chaps. 

 

There isn't space to mulch really. It's one track, about 4m wide as the only access in and out for a stand where there is 1000t plus to be processed, which has to be processed on the track. 

 

The job isn't until June, so I have a bit of time to think, but I'll look out for on in the intervening time :D
