We have inherited a large site that has being neglected in the past and will need to re edge the borders, i don't fancy doing it by hand! is there a machine out there that can cut the edge and chamfer the soil to create a nice finish?. I know of lots that will cut the edge but you still have to chuck the soil back by hand!
-
That looks like a right chipper.
-
Whats the Bobcat like running the flail? is it mostly used for bramble etc? its the way i wanna go...got my class 1 booked so it will be digger & big chipper time.
-
Another day spent felling trees & chipping up...little Vermeer is excellent for moving logs, makes life easier feeding the chipper. There will no doubt be jobs where man power wins,maybe a digger & big chipper would be better
-
How much does the digger weigh? do you just use it for loading brash?

Something like that looks ideal...would do the job of 10 men! Wont ring in sick or moan about how shit the job is...
-
Never thought about a tractor...would be very versatile, could stick a loader on to move timber for the clean up. What size machine can you hang off a tractor? i guess it depends on the horse power.
-
Rigid...no problem...but why shell out for 2 machines that need 2 men to operate when 1 man with 1 machine could do.
-
But why have 2 vehicles? if its site work & chip is staying, 32 t beaver tail with hiab, track chipper onto back with loader & away u go, crane timber on, drop it off go back & pick tackle up
-
It then means 2 vehicles to take what 1 machine could do, a digger would be more versatile.
-
I rang Fletcher Stewart when i had mine and they put me in touch with somebody else, not sure who it was!

We seem to be doing more & more jobs where having a bigger chipper on site with some sort of crane would be a god send, we have a tw 280 & skid steer which isnt ideal crane feeding but on the right stuff its so effective its unreal... Its got me thinking throwing bodies at the job is not always the best way, 2 men feeding a chipper is enough any more and your in each others way. Would a bigger chipper with 360 be even better? Or a purpose built chipper & crane combo be even better?

Broke down?

dealer before you do anything, just for the record we have a new 6ft hammer flail for sale & it would suit a 8 - 9 ton digger, it requires 80 - 90 lpm . What machine are you running? do you keep it busy?
-
-
Why do some have higher flow rates than others? Is there no modifications required at all with regards to running implements?
-
We had a large site to clear of self set trees bramble & other nasties, the ground was heavily contaminated with stone. After speaking to Justin he advised me on what type of machine would be best, he had a machine on site working in less than a week with a top notch operator, anybody looking for help with site clearance projects I would strongly urge you to contact kingswell holdings they have a first class attitude & machines to match.

Looking at excavators around 10 ton mark that would be capable of running a mulching head, flail, shear etc, are the mulching heads just plug & play or do different machines have higher flow rates for various attachments?
-
After recently hiring a 360 with a flail for a site clearance job it has got me thinking about the amount of work these things can potentially bring in. I am thinking along the lines of a 10 toner on rubber tracks so it can go roadside too, with a tree shear flail & mulcher. I already have my tickets & hgv so own transport to and from site could be done with a cheap beaver tail, is their any owner operators out there that runs a similar set up?
-
Has anyone made a new pipe & re routed it? Is it the same on all machines?
-
It is yes, its in a really vulnerable place i know it will 100% get smashed on a log or something. it wants diverting inside the chassis
-
Does anyone own a 280tftr? Is there a dirty great hydraulic pipe hanging down as in the picture?
-
Hand cutting is not a viable option as the site is so big! cutting with clearing saws would be ok but the actual clean up would be too time consuming. There must be other options?
