self propelled chipper (Shreks wee chipper)

[Stephen Blair]

That's it then I am selling my tracked machine and going micro, that's the way forward!!!! Green or Yellow????? If I sell my landy and get a gas powered corsa van, my day rate has just been reduced and profits increased, I like your style Wee Shrek, any big timber will be snapped up like black gold by log hungry eco energy saving freaks!!

 

that little sucker earned me over 1500quid last week, but the problem is i used a whopping 8 quids worth of unleaded:001_tt2:, and i used about 10quids worth of fuel in my van aswell:thumbup:and no staff either

I must admit I've only got a 5 inch gravity fed entec chipper, but manage most of the time absolutely fine with it for domestic/small commercial jobs, especially if I can chip straight into a shrub bed - yes I do know about the nitrates before anyone starts. Anything else goes for logs, which you can normally flog nearby.

 

For bigger jobs I hire equipment anyway, which would be to big most of the time. I have thought about upgrading to a 6inch timberwolf and putting the little entec on a wheelbarrow or similar instead of the trailer it's currently on.

 

I am a firm believer in the right equipment for the job, unfortunately that is always a compromise. The key is knowing the limitations of each piece of equipment and having a solution for these circumstances.

I am serious, I am getting myself a micro chipper, I do some railway clearance so will keep the tracked machine for now. When I think back there has been hundreds of jobs where a micro chipper would win hands down. I always thought they where a bit Mickey Mouse and be hard work how wrong!!!! Bet a lot of people laughed when micro diggers and dumpers where first used look at them now. bet they out sell there bigger bothers ten fold!!
