There a firm daneil c upton thay have one of these bad boys runing of a huge claas xerion tractor :thumbup:

 

We've used Daniel and seen his mahooossive chipper working. Its scary when you see them put a whole tree go through within minutes. We felled about 3 acres of Western Red Cedars and cut them in half. The trunks/stems went for biomass and the tops n branches went for composting. The ony issue he had was the tractor was drinking fuel. He got through almost a full tank by lunchtime so had to go off and fill up again. We got a deisel tanker left on the "landing" for him so he could fill up on site as the nearest petrol station was 15 miles away.

What I heard from collegues using this kind of equipment, the fuel consumption is about 1 l/hp/day. So if the tractor has 250 hp....:001_tt2:

Grrrrrrrrrrr big engines always give the horn does danny still have that huge mulching head forest killing thing ?

 

Oh yes. We saw both his main forest mulcher and he had one on that massive claas. We were watching the claas one from 200 metres away and it was still throwing stuff nearly to us. Some of the stuff he has is amazing. He helped one of our contractors out by shifting the logs from a big beech clearance job. He had a cool little tractor and was bringing them up 6 discs at a time and loading them into the grain trailer.
