Machinery for cutting firebreaks

Thanks for all your replies. Interesting reading.

 

Natural England locally have the same Softrack setup, I may ask them for a rate. It would however have the same basic problem as our current machine, albeit with a bigger hopper.

 

It sounds like forage harvesters of varying types have been used for similar jobs so not too far fetched, I suppose it's just finding the right one. As the established breaks are cut every year there's not too much to dispose of so blasting it into the ether would be an option, but on new breaks following even with a landy and tipper trailer could work and be quicker than current method. I recon we need a bigger tractor though.

 

Cheers,

Sean.

PS: I've been to a demo of Moor Heats' bio-baler. It's really impressive, saw it used on rhodie working around established oak woodland. Not sure it'd work on a lot of our firebreaks though as sward too grassy for a mulcher - we're somewhere in between mowing and mulching I recon.
