Shredder hire

[colwoodlandcare]

Ive got a job coming up involving some clearance. The quote i put in was subject to being able to burn on site, they have come back saying no burn so I'm after a way off getting rid of all the waste.

The material is brambles and a lot of 15-20ft saplings and field hedges.

The ground it is on is very wet with standing water.

At present we were having a 1 person on the ground, 1 7.5 tonne digger and a jcb 434 to keep moving the material onto the bonfire after it has been swung onto a bit of dry land.

 

Does any one have any numbers for rent of a pro shredder, prefible with a grab arm to feed its self.

Other option thats just come to mind is a bobcat with a flail. Is there any where to hire these?

Hi,

I've been looking for something similar I found this website based in monmouth might be a bit far for you.

We do a fair amount of this sort of work and have completely ditched burning now for various reasons unless very small scale.

 

We have achieved great results with a Zago Ecogreen shredder, which is able to self load and also traverse a reasonable amount off road to access sites.

Something to factor is the large twin axle units are approx 12 tonne and a fair lump which obviously can't be expected to be dragged off reasonably firm going.

 

With a good operator the output is very impressive, plus they actually like a bit of soil contamination to help things through.

 

The supplier we used has moved his on and I would probably go to the importer King Feeders direct if I needed to source one now.

Perhaps worth a call to see if there is one running in your area as most will have been supplied by them even secondhand.

 

As for Brambles, they are a Flails best friend and simply hoover up and dissolve? It never ceases to amaze me how little evidence is left of vast crops of Brambles after a pass with a flail head.

 

I wish I was closer as I'd have been happy to assist, the new FAE head on my 8 tonne LGP Kubota is performing brilliantly so far.

It would have coped pretty well in many of the conditions you describe.

 

Eddie.
