Agree with UKMINCH...you need to know what you can tow and carry legally as ignorance of the law is no defense...look on the Gov web site and that will help. But anyone who has not got a pre97 can tow a trailer (or chipper in most cases for you) up to 750kgs with a 3.5t transit and the MAM (maximum authorized mass) must not exceed 3.5 t... so transit empty and the chipper 750kgs say is 2900kgs (approx) that allows you to carry 600kgs...that needs to include yourselves ,tools etc...so might get 300kgs or 400kgs of woodchips etc... if you do your trailer test your towing capabilities increase but you must not exceed your MAM at any time...so think what you are towing with vehicle wise...hopes this helps a bit....

Triclopyrbutoxyethylester !!!!!! Timbrel. Easy to use too just paint it on But as has been explained PA1 required and yes, you need to keep records and fill in your chemical records book otherwise you will have all and sundry throwing stuff about not having any records of where and when etc. We all know its a pain but cover your a**e and do it correctly and safely and PPE of course............

There is always value in woodchip for the power stations etc, they will pay for the hire of a Matbro Loader if you have enough of them too. This means they need to be loaded with 27t of chip to make the load and the lorry has a weigh system in the floor to measure this. However the hire of the Matbro will reduce what value you get per tonne of woodchip. Try Stobart they were interested the last time I moved some out.
