i have one that i keep with the chipper for snedding small branches before chipping. saves wear on my main saws and quick to sharpen a small chain when it goes dull. l think they have their place in a domestic or occasional user environment but commercially they not robust enough

to sell it on a large scale to farms you would need to speak to cattle or sheep farmers who deep litter their animals. i think selling it as a processed product would be the way forward as i know farmers would only go start knocking down their own timber instead of buying it in, mind you i suppose if your chipping at an hourly rate a little extra timber wont be too bad. i very much doubt it will be used as a direct replacement for straw but used in conjunction with it either to reduce foot damage on concrete yards or to be used under straw. you only have to look at how gypsum is recycled now to see how its taken off, the sheets of plaster board are stripped of their paper which is now a animal bedding product and the gypsum itself is spread on the fields.

it depends on how you use the chip as bedding tho, i find it works well as an absorbent base layer when used a few inches deep then a covering of straw ontop. i find dairy farmers the biggest user of it for cubicle building floors, alternatively they have been using gypsum paper as another low cost bedding. our use for it is in my parents poultry and waterfowl business, each pen has a minimum of 6 inches of chip in and the transformation it has mate to the quality of the birds we produce ie feathers and legs arent all muddy even in the depths of winter on heavy wealden clay you can walk around the entire 2 acre compound in your slippers. they're customer regularly buy hard wood chip from me for use in their domestic pens

i have brought a few bits from atkinsons and been happy with the service i got, simon cut us a deal at the apf show on a rear body and some other bits, which proved to be good value, i brought a used chip box from them a few days ago and again have no gripes with that.
-
all of the chip i produce gets used as animal bedding on our farm, cant get enought of the stuff so if any of the kent members need a tipping area let me know!
-
i know the company that i do a bit for charges £76 +vat per ton for disposal of green waste whether its been processed into chip or not. they take all the council green waste from refuse sites, everything is then put through a 400hp shredder then sold as biomass to power stations.
