contract chipping and value of g30 woodchip
Tom D replied to John Shutler's topic in Business Management
I have been contract biomass chipping for the last two days, I have been using the clients tractor (a 210hp new holland) to speed up production, and it certainly does! I can do 100 ton a day feeding it with mine....

I think the lack of airflow would seriously affect the results, you'd need to use vented bags. Other than that it would work really well.

Interesting. We were talking about taking samples to the bush anyway.

Edinburgh Tim.

So you think something else is killing the tree? I agree it looks a little like a Bjerkandera. I think its the cause of the die back though, it certainly looks that way anyway..

Nice Reg, I wish we could use explosives. I am daydreaming about topping leylandii, a whole row of them BBBBBBBBBBANG like a zip undoing.

3rd time lucky

Pics missing????

Lawsons Cypress, one stem almost dead with a heavy coating of fungus emerging from cracks in the bark, the remaining stems have lesser amounts coming through so will probably succumb soon. Not something I have seen before...

We will probably be selling a Mitsubishi canter soon..

Great thanks Rich. How's you? Going back to Norway soon?

Well spotted Shavey, Ian really needs to send me his address... There was 3 of us Carlos...

Didn't break sweat all day Mark. Just the way I like it.

No but I checked the chip piles for feathers.....

On way home. Stuck in traffic 😒

Almost there.

2 thirds done now.

All down by scotch egg time. Time to dodge the re-bar now and chip it all.
-
Down to the last 10. The winch is helping as we are on the north side so most of them lean the other way.
-
This is the latest. About half felled.

60+ leylandii to kill. This was at 9:00 This is now the trees have grown through a barbed wire fence unfortunately. The mission is still to do all 60 in a day. We'll see how it goes.

Just had LOLER and the inspector doesn't want to see my lovely orange tachyon again. Looking for a nice low stretch 11-12mm rope to replace it. Climbing on zigzag... I loved new england fly and am tempted by the teufrlberger version, or another tachyon, anyone recommend anything else? Cheers Tom

I remember looking into this years ago, in the end I went and bought my first roof mount tractor and haven't looked back. Get a trailer with dividers and just sell by the cube, full load or half load.... And a tractor...

Nice work! Some big lumps rigged...
