hey theres one on ##bay 3k at moment

yes as above dont, give up, smaller = less £ or even bush hog or swipe type cutters as on picture of afag doc. can produce good cutting capacity, most flail importers have machines in range for lighter applications, fae, ahwi, seppi, A T Osbourne do some,

Mmm I try to not post anything to incriminating, as owner operator of the Ahwi mulcher we try to take care of and use machinery in a responsible and safe manor. I consider mulching material such as wood, tree roots and in fact any materials not to aggressive and or harmful to the flail teeth as acceptable, I have seen damage caused to flail teeth and rotors being used in stony conditions whilst mulching brash and small conifer crop which would seem to be ok but has caused a large amount of wear and damage. I think as long as we take into account the situation both of the material, the working environment and the method of applying the machinery to the target material that this is acceptable I have checked my operators manual and AFAG doc. and contacted the machinery importer with ref to your comments and consider our actions in mulching wood, albeit large, as not to be abusing the equipment.

Our client asked us what it would do, we mulched normal stuff like rhododendron , roots etc. and were shown the heeps of oak, although I guess not cost effective in the world of increasing fire wood prices, it was a learning curve for owner, operator, and potential client, we are asked, and do, mulch rows of stumps extracted by clients not to dissimilar to the lump of wood shown, some of the arisings are incorporated in top soil and or lost on site, our last job with roots yesterday the mulchings are being used to make newt hotels in conjunction with cord wood and other materials found on site.

Try before you buy, go see them working, compare swinging hammer with fixed tooth, what do you want to mulch? my experience swinging hammer v. good smaller produce inc. grasses & brittle stuff, elder thorn etc. and in situation where you may damage fixed tooth eg cast man holes rail lines other immovable solid objects, fixed tooth better and more aggressive for mulching trees roots other produce + cultivates ground better will pick up produce and mulch , call me if you wish I have both seppi swinging hammer and ahwi and yes they are 40k for the big ones even more now with exchange rates and newer models

R.I.P. Mike One of the top men in arb. My condolences to his family, he always wanted and tried to do it right, our mog was almost a copy of his and he willingly spent time giving of his experience and advice. One of my neighbours once said to me only the good die young, I thought her wrong, this unfortunately proves her correct again.

value of 9 acre woodland
arbwork replied to David Riding's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
sounds excellent opportunity, buy it, price at under 1k per acre for small parcel is v. reasonable especially if you have access and possibility to make use of -
must be a good start to the new year, usually we'd hit the nail with saw! or at least try to split it, missed it with both
