Putting your lorry on someone else's O licence is not legal, and can get you and the o license holder into serious trouble.
-
John, are you talking tractor trailer loaded with ibcs?
-
Yes, I'll come too, but only if I can be the big spoon.

John is talking about collecting chip for his own use on a local scale. A full size 8 wheeler bin holds 45 or 50 cubic metres, although filling it with a small chipper would be tricky as you would have to chip through the open door. I was more thinking of smaller bins on a 18 tonner, drop 5-6 bins off in the morning on site for local tree surgeons, pick them up at the end of the day, 100-120 cubic metres a day would be plenty. Don't forget that although you only get £8-10 a tonne for chip, by the time its dry and delivered to the power station its being sold for £75 a tonne.
-
Yes, but a roro service would work.
-
Ah, a man date for some spooning. Sounds good!
-
Not strictly true Ed, there is no manufacturer called Kwikchip, the UK importer of Tunissen decided to rebrand them for marketing reasons.

Got my own, restricted O licence. Probably CPC exempt, but doing it anyway, some of the info is useful, drivers hours etc, and I am doing lorry loader and some other plant tickets and probably a first aid course that all count towards the 35 hours, so its not all wasted effort.

26t is fine if you dont want to get up driveways. My 18t is 4 metre wheelbase so its pretty manoeuvrable, plus twin rear axles will widen the turning circle unless you get a rear lift, and they aren't great off road. If you are going big then 32t on 4 axles is the biggest rigid you can run in the UK.

7.5 tonner with a crane is a waste of time, so little payload its virtually useless, I run an 18 tonner with crane, that has about a 10 tonne payload and it still gets overloaded.
-
Ah, if its a straight choice money no object then the schliesing every time.

TW better value for money IMO, they chip well but the last 2 new ones iv used have both overheated a lot.

The absence of a bottom stop bar is a big plus to me, eliminates most of the nuisance stops, ie brash being pulled in stopping the infeed.
-
Probably both.

I paid about £30 a sheet from a timber merchant a couple of years ago. Arnold Laver in Irlam.

Just as well you don't go every Sunday Steve, you would have been banned by now.

Quad Chip for me. You can't really compare the two though, the TW is more comparable to the new GM150. QC has turntable and folding spout, both of which are useful for me. Servicing GM is easy, plus you dont have to replace bearings every 300 hours. Never needed any parts, other than a spring and I got that under warranty, resale value is a bit unknown as there are only a handful of Quad Chips been sold secondhand.
-
Possibly, I'd like to 660 chop it though.
-
Can you pm me a grid reference please, I would like to go and "measure" it for myself.

Spiking with just a flip line is no longer recommended as an access technique.
