Never knew such a thing existed. One would need to own a forest to make it pay. I wonder what it costs? not much change from £100k I imagine.

100k? my tractor and chipper setup is £120k and that’s a reasonably modest setup in comparison

If they ain't left on the floor, an awful lot get sold to the big biomass suppliers. Prices seem to vary but if they are a bi-product to arb works for which you are getting paid for, anything is a bonus! Even if it clears the yard for a few quid per tonne. For the main part, standard road towed chippers from the likes of GreenMech, Timberwolf, Redwood, jensen etc (apologies to those not listed) are for volume reduction of brash and small timber. A small scale biomass plant would find this too wet or it may block up the auger if the firetrap motor or mechanism cannot handle the odd shapes or stringy bits.

 

There seems to be a number of large projects on at the moment (HS2, Smart Motorway) that folk are kitting up for with chip removal being classed as part of the reimbursement.  But that seems to be a beginning of the race to the bottom with folk classing the chip as the income!
