Chipping in Action

[rovers90]

You may recall the pics I put up before Christmas of the two artics cab to cab unloading at my friends yards - well this was a few days later when the chipper came in to make biomass grade chip.

 

The trailer is our new Vreten which has been used a few times now for moving timber around the site and to another site. My mate managed to tip it over the second time he used it as he had forgot to put the legs down!!! We think the crane is probably too big for the trailer, they seem a bit mismatched but we will have to live with it. It just gets two 3m bays of timber on but they have to be right up against the head board and each other and there is about a 3ft overhang.

it's all a bit like a wet dream! Lovely trailer but hard not to look at the fendt!

Brilliant! How long did it take to chip?

Is that denton parks machine? two bays of 3m is good as i can only get two bays of 2.5m on a botex.

Silky - I think he can chip four wagon loads, so about 100 ton, in about half a day - thats if theres no breakdowns!!

 

Gray Git - no, chipper belongs to Park End of Wark in Northumberland

Nice chipping set up! One day hopefully!!

That trailer is a monster, you must have some nice big rides to get that round in, so was your mate standing on the drawbar stirring the sticks when he flopped it over?

Thats the trailer fully extended, you can slide it back together to shorten it (as in the photo below). Yep,he was standing on the drawbar but luckily jumped when he felt it going over. Trouble is,standing on the ground operating it it is difficult to see where you are placing the timber.
