Tracked Chipper needed in Deal, Kent
HertsWood replied to Richard_Forester's topic in Large equipment
Mason tree contractors in Herts also have a tracked forst 8 or 10", hired with an operator & they travel across the south east. They're a major contractor to other contractors. -
Hi Richard Apologies for delay - have had knee replacement surgery this week, so not feeling the best. We dry using a combination of log crates manufactured to our specifications (1.2m3), heavy duty folding stillage cages (1.25m3) and vented bulk bags (1.2m3) Once processed, the crates/bags are stacked outside for 3 - 6 months b4 being moved into Dutch barns on the farm where we are based. The walls of the barns don't reach the floor so there is good air current from the sides. We also took out the rear walls and added double gates that had Yorkshire style cladding on that allows air currents to pass through the stacks. Add that to the fact that the farm is on a hill, you get great convection air currents. Moisture content drops like a stone - current spot check last week showed moisture at 14%.

I've got a set of bfg AT's for the summer months & then we go into the woodlands, I swap for s set of BFG MT's

When I climbed for midland tree in the 90's all of the climbers cambium savers had pulleys on - made a massive difference. But it's personal preference at end of the day.

I've got an Antonio Carrara TTR4400 used with a 35e winch, woodline multipla10, circular saw, Martin Lishman sprayer and a caroni reverse drive flail its a perfect set up. BUT for steep, wet ground, I use my Deltrak for mowing as it can handle slopes no tractor including an aebi will touch - 55+ degrees

We sell firewood/woodfuel where the timber is sourced from sustainable woodlands that we are managing for clients. That way it's a zero cost for the timber & just have processing costs to account for. One of the biggest investments we have made is becoming both HETAS accredited & Grown in Britain Licensed - this has helped sales immensely.

Don't have leaf springs - I'm sensible, got a Defender 130😀

Get a LR Defender td5 - 198K miles, no breakdowns in 5 years. Except a turbo at 166K 🙃😀

Good time to visit the USA - dollar dropping in price against sterling

You could swap to biodegradable hydraulic oil - that's what I use in my Irus Deltrak. As it breaks down naturally it won't affect hardstanding or soft/grass areas.

WoodFuel pellets are designed to be burnt in an enclosed space where air flow is carefully controlled, & pellets are continually fed into the boiler - hence why heat output so high (circa 4800 kWh/ton) - in biomass boilers. You won't achieve this with a stove. Matt Herts WoodFuel is a Grown in Britain Licenced Woodfuel producer/trader.

I had this problem, via a consultation at Papworth found out I had a rare heart block - where heart was stopping for 4 - 5 seconds, during the day & night. Now fitted with an MRI compatible pacemaker & energy levels have increased, while heart rate is steady at 60bpm.

Processed all timber extracted from a wood in September Plus stacked the Woodfuel pellets.. -
Croydon tree station set up with bio-regional

6 m3 this week, plus 5x ton woodfuel pellets this week, with another 8tn woodfuel pellets confirmed next week - luckily Verdo delivered 18 ton yesterday. Recent Grown in Britain woodfuel licence should help push sales further.

1st question has to be how much is your budget?

Working in a SSSI woodland that's also a scheduled ancient monument (SAM), clearing Sycamore from historic Alder compartments.

Glad I've got a Defender 130 fitted with a webasto can/engine heater 🙃

That's what we do. Hook lift bins cost circa £500 delivered to site & removed.
