Big chipper hire Sussex

[Arb123]

After a big chipper to help clear a site in halisham, the material is more scrub and big rhododendron so slow feeding into a 6inch chipper.

Any reason you can't just rip it up and burn it? Rhodi is a nightmare to try to chip anyway.

Oh here we go again!

Look out Arb123, Doobin's gonna be all over this because your question isn't ten pages of extreme detail with a Method Statement and Risk Assessment.

Hahaha!

[Arb123]

No burning! Pain in the arse!

Thing is with rhodie is that getting it to the rollers is pretty difficult even with a big chipper.

How about mulching it with a flail?

[combined tree services]

Rip it up and brim in a mobile tub grinder or green waste shredder , cheaper and a far faster way to deal with rohdie !!

As others have gone on to point out again, cutting and feeding large amounts of Rhodi through a chipper is labour intensive due the the way it grows and tbh, pretty pointless. If you want it out properly you need to grub it. Can't chip roots, so burn or tub grinder. Or a mulcher of course

 

A bigger chipper is not the answer. If you've quoted for it, then take the above advice. If you're on day rate, plod along with your wee chipper.

Best bet hire coppards skid steer mulcher it's a good little machine if used correctly. Quick easy and no messing.

It all depends on what the Client actually wants? I do an awful lot of Rhodie, and trust me no two jobs are the same in terms of what solutions they want for the site?

My Farmi 260 HFC with the steel infeed in conveyor was bought especially with Rhodie in mind, as it greatly aids the feeding process, and we find it a very easy material to chip.

Larger projects have seen a fantastic Roofmount Valtra and big Jenz setup with large infeed conveyor come in, that can eat serious amounts of Rhodie, but you need to pile up a vast amount before making the call to get him in.

 

You're all thinking what about the roots? Well, pulled out and stacked to air dry there is virtually any regrowth, plus the piles can easily be treated, or on other projects Clients actually wish to have the Rhodie return on their terms and manage it.

 

The Zago Ecogreen Shredder is the Rhodie king if you can get one in, but finding one is no easy task, and the operator is the key to them.

 

I'd just say get the biggest in you can, and if you can get some form of feed conveyor it really does help.

 

Mulching is a different solution altogether, and I'd credit you with knowing if that was an option you'd have already gone with it.

Try Howard King, not sure of his number; he has a huge woodman chipper, an awesome machine.
