chipping gorse

[Charlieh]

the site isnt suitable for a mulcher or flail, its all hand cutting but at least i could track a chipper in close enough to do the work. I have got a couple of prices from the local chipper hire places so I will keep you posted as and when the work happens, as like most things it seems to be dependant on how much funding can be generated for delivering the works on this site.

 

Thanks for everyones help

 

Have moorheat still got a biobaler, i was told the other week that they had got rid of it?

What about a air curtain burner I've use it to get rid of it before on a sssi site before

there isnt the volume to merit big kit, its only a small site with a couple of compartments containing gorse, so the job wont stand bringing kit in

If you had a lot to do then my shear mounted on excavator feeding straight into hazohack chipper is the easy way to do it.

We did a coupe of days of cutting and chipping gorse quite a few years ago. IIRC it wasn't the worst thing in the world to chip but it produced a fair bit more chip than expected, ie it didn't compact down well and a 6 cube van full probably weighed less than a bag of Walkers crisps!

 

All the chip was moved but left on site to be burned or buried which was a bit of a God send.
