Micro chippers- moving woodchip

[dogman]

Thank you gents !

 

And at 55, later life is creeping up on me, however i'm not a tree surgeon, i'm a gardener, so it looks like the stuff i chip up is a lot lighter.....

Depends on terrain, If the ground is soft or uneven a big wheelie bin would be a struggle?

 

Some greedy sides on a twin wheel barrow would cope with softer terrain.

The disposable builders bags, that a ton of sand/gravel come in, they are tough, hold a lot of chip, & can still be moved by one person even when full.

I'd like to see that.

I can't see myself being able to drag a builders bag of woodchips very far to be honest.. It'd be like watching one of those tractor pulls where the tractor comes to an abrupt halt, then starts smoking! Haha.

 

High sided twin wheeled Barrow sounds like a sensible option, although I'd have no idea where to look for one of these, or how much they would cost etc.

i think they are used a lot by horse people.

you would need a pair of wheelbarrows/bins so one can be emptyed while one is filled

Thanks broonie. That link to the one on Amazon looks really good. Reasonably priced too.

 

Alternating between two bins/barrows sounds like a good option. Might give that a go before splashing out on a large barrow!

 

Cheers. Rob

Maybe 2 builders bags, one in each hand ?...

That's an even better idea! Maybe I could have a third tied around my waist.. Very efficient! Luckily, my body is built like a tractor. My legs have the ability to pull loads in excess of 3 tonnes, and my arms are like a tele handler- should make lifting/dumping those tonne bags onto the top of the chip pile a doddle! Haha.
