Tracked Chipper Hire Scottish Borders/North Northumberland.

[TTS North]

Looking to hire a tracked chipper for a weekend to use in the forest.

 

TW 150 or similar. Have our chipper tickets and don't need an operator.

 

Has to be tracked - towable is no good.

 

Any suggestions as to a supplier in that area?

 

Thanks.

I have a crane fed heizohack that will chip in an hour what a TW150 will do in a day, based in the borders, its towed behind a tractor if thats any good for your site.....

Thanks for the offer, Tom.

 

We arrived at the 150 after some consideration.

 

These are overdue first thinnings on selected trees in a 5Ha stand - 1.6m wide access to 500m in is the best we've got and some of it pretty steep. The ATV is the biggest bit of kit we can get in and even that's a squeeze. No access rides at all and none likely to be cut either.

 

Small is the key requirement here, and some long winching. The trees are so dense we've had to spike the first few just to make some initial space. The volume of brash coming down off each one is huge and it has to be chipped the second it comes down otherwise there's no room to move at all. A 150 fits the bill perfectly. Crazy place.

 

See you're not too far. Bear you in mind should any of it be cleared on larger scale or the decision made to cut access roads and we need to move a lot of product out quickly.

 

Cheers, TTS.
