Landforce any good?

[CJM]

When I worked for a company called batsons in tow law , we had landforce , had to have a lad stand on roller housing to get it to take branches in

 

Then one day it caught fire, exhaust melted diesel tank and it was no more

 

I've been told this story by one of the lads probably was working with you at the time. It give me a good laugh I like the bit when you guys 'tried' to put it out hahaha

 

I guess this pretty much sums up land force chippers

We were told to chuck a few logs on, it wasn't repairable !

 

We got a 10 inch Vermeer after that , now that was some machine

We run 2 land force machines. They are outdated & unproductive in comparison to modern machines. The in-feed system is a serious weakness. They are relatively reliable however, if well maintained & have a good engine options. As a budget/low productivity machine, they. may be worth considering

Realise we won't get much of a machine for that money. We are a charity owned, 120 acre, community woodland in Cwmbran in South Wales trying our best to deal with an outbreak of Phytophera which has necessitated felling of about 25% of the woodland and has left a massive clearing up task. If any of you know of anything that you feel may fit the bill can you please advise

 

I may be wrong, but doesnt the Forestry Comission require you to Burn trees infected with Phytophera, to prevent cross contamination etc..

Exactly what I thought. Burn infected material on site.
