Suffolk woodchip have a biomass chipper mounted on a silage trailer, also their own fleet of lorries and on top they’ll buy it off you.

They had a stand at the Weeting steam rally years ago and had some good kit then. Remember a tub grinder they chucked roots in and came out in little bits.

Yea they are good to deal with. Pete Stonham at Bondgrip biomass in dunmow is another great one. His JENZ chipped 90x 80ft conifers with butts from 16 inches up to 36 odd in a morning

Forgot about Suffolk woodchip, he had a couple of artic loads of conni chip of a job few months ago easy to deal with and payed 12 pounds a ton collected. Going back to fuel use my chipper is 125hp and uses around 7 litres an hour of diesel.
