the company that does ours charges £1 per inch on the width of the blades which are 4 inches wide and they lift them and return them the next week

There are not many slivers and any there is are not that big or that thick. Most boilers have cutters on the augers anyway that will deal with any small slivers

Hi we have a Kesla 6450 and it produces good chips for biomass.We chip for quite a few customers with different makes of boilers who have had no problems but most are G50. The chipper has been very reliable and well built

Hi newbie here (usual excuses apply)

 

I've 20 acres of wild overgrown woodland that has hasn't been touched for probably 50 years or longer.

 

I'm about to buy a couple of woodchip boilers (Austrian Eta 130kw and a 45kw) and will be needing 80tons/240 cu of chip per year.

 

I've no idea about any if the variety of trees that I have or even if it's hard or softwood but there are some big trees. Some will be 50ft height and 2ft across.

 

I'm looking for advice on the best time of year to fell, expected drying rates, (I'm looking for 30% moisture).

 

Then once felled, maybe an acre every other year which would be the best variety to replant purely focusing on yield returned suitable for woodchip boilers.

 

Any tips or info would be really appreciated. I've already learnt a huge amount from this great forum.

The easiest and cheapest would be to buy in windblown timber which might cost£30~£40 delivered then get a chipper in if you need 80ton then that should be about a days work for a decent sized chipper

we have a swb Shogun and Navara both automatic both tow well but big advantage is when you reverse with trailers on .The last Navara was a manual and was on its 3rd clutch but they were high geared in reverse

it will not make them go faster but if you have 38"wheels on they pull better

Can anyone advise on a rough price for a days hire of crane fed chipper (+ tractor and operator) please. I've been given a price of 800 + vat + transport, which I think sounds quite steep, but I'm happy to be corrected.

Thanks, Sandy
