  1. you can go independent crane fed chip as here Richard Blakey's one but the tractor option gives a lot of options, I would suggest perhaps 100 to 200 hp tractor could power10 to 12'' chipper
  2. here you go http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WOOD-CHIPPER-WITH-CRANE-JUNKKARI/222628852535?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D45993%26meid%3Dffe942e60455468ab1385911dcb10f78%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D222600479643&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 or if you have a crane I may even have one myself!
  3. how tidy do you have to leave the sites could you mulch them? if not crane fed medium size as here http://www.jaspwilson.co.uk/en/tp-chipper-320-tractor-pto-crane-fed-uk can be effective or crane mounted on tractor enabling you to forward/load without the chipper attached, remote control of chipper is advisable, cable or wireless, and some models are only crane fed, Jensen, TP, Schliesing, Junkkari, bandit, hiezohack among some of the potential
  4. it is unfortunate but if the trunk has failed and there are rot pockets above in the branches it is likely that part or most of heartwood is decayed and may not be usable, you will find out by crosscutting to explore, good luck in finding sound brown wood !
  5. a recent watery one, school holidays of course!
  6. Lee thanks for your help in packaging and posting, all arrived safe. cheers Jeremy
  7. I would think if you floated the mulcher over the ground to avoid heavy contact with floor you would cut and mulch most woody weeds and brambles, there can be a problem at this time of year with grass being shy of the flail, it depends on the shape and speed of the flail, some flails depend on being able to trap the cut produce onto the ground to make a tidy job of 'mulching' all the above is dependant on your ''compacted down'' we have mulched brown field sites where demolished building have been flattened and the usual suspects have turned it in to a sssi! the only problems punctures, therefore tracked or solid tyre an advantage, swinging hammers would be an advantage if lumps of demolished office block are not compacted, good luck
  8. Eddie impressive specification and return! looking spectacular one hell of a pair of secateurs and just at the end of bird nesting, good timing, I wish you well, respect
  9. bent not broke, surprised my self by recovering situation with little press, needed support blocks! to stop things bending that should not be, now as straight as a straight...ish thing ( a bit weaker possibly)
  10. highland tractor, moo
  11. tree growing on tree and feet!
  12. holiday mog, not mine
  13. Mike it is a tidy looking tractor, my thoughts are, I guess it has 100 hp, that it may be a little under powered, we run a number of 12'' chippers on 200 hp, with all grab feeding you are tempted to over feed, this taken into account, we can still get ours into the stress control stopped zone, try to get a demo if possible and try it, good luck
  14. more new to me things, how about the fold away 1/2 steering wheel, the extendable bunk on smaller forwarding trailer, children catered for and more
  15. more, how about a meri tractor to go with your meri crusher? dampish conditions on the forwarder competition trail, new and old school harvesting
  16. few things not seen before, jcb hydradig with a quick fit linkage similar to 3 point link and tilt rotate system, now if they did that in a bigger machine.... my pocket may be lighter, steering rear axel on forwarding trailer from Igland, a bit difficult to tell this time round but it seemed as if there was slightly less action but I may have been in the wrong place at the time, good to see old familiar and also new people at the show, it can be a small world forestry at times, my best regards to you all
  17. what did you think then? link here to what the organisers thought https://www.elmia.se/en/wood/For-press/News-from-Elmia-Wood-rss/World-premieres-met-a-large-audience-in-the-forest/?utm_campaign=Wood_bes_eng_170610_lor&utm_content=-&utm_medium=email&utm_source=apsis and no prizes for guessing what the weather was like !!
  18. you do need to balance front mount chippers either with counter weight or something such as a crane
  19. machines are built individually in bare steel no pipe work electrics etc. dismantled sent to paint and are then assembled depending on size by 1 or 2 operatives, I always like the look of clean steel being fabricated there's something about it
  20. above was with telehandler as I no find other independent pics, but it will lift enormous amount! slam with big logs can be a problem care needed (always remember to raise back stops as big log will roll off the other side!), , also do not lower lift arms until alternative securing of log is sorted, big logs have potential big hazard, imagine one the above size ''falling off''
  21. Nick hello although our arms were bent when we got our mill we have never managed to re bend them! we have loaded 30'' + dia 6m long trunks onto the mill
  22. you'd think I would be able to spell Heizohack correctly by now!
  23. the chance to attend the above at the invite of Alex Price Home to include visits to 2 production areas, one in their words ''the acquisition of the former Hahnenkamm barracks in 2005, HEIZOMAT has over an area of 370 hectares unlimited possibilities for future development'' this site a former tank manufacturing facility! more info here Heizomat Woodchip Boilers | Biomass Boilers | PTO Wood Chippers and also more info and pictures here suffice to say a lot to see and an interesting and informative weekend. Thank you
  24. out again 'in the wood milling' converting Oak for a timber framed building, the curved sections are for wind braces. hard work everything moved by hand!
  25. had this 08.30 today or similar
