Do you think they are harvesting woodchips?

I wasn’t sure if link would work. Didn’t think you had to subscribe to something. For me, the link sends me to the video without having to sign up or log in. But I guess it’s different for you. Let me know how to post it without it doing that. Otherwise don’t click and move along.

This looks like a remote control drone version of the brush hog. It would be nice to park the tractor and do all the brush cutting from the front porch with a cool beverage.

I think so. I wonder what kind of trees they plant in rows like that? I’m guessing this is in northern Europe?

Posting the exact same instagram link doesn't fix the issue

Worked fine for me just now. It's worth another try - very neat...

Your link worked just fine for me, neat machine.

A rather unique piece of equipment on a very flat tree farm. Inside of flood berms?

Around here, I've thought there has to be a way to thin trees and remove underbrush, for a profit. And that means being able to run both the harvester and the chip wagon on roadless hillsides up to say 45° slopes. Perhaps add a small storage bin to the harvester that could be dumped periodically rather than continuous blowing chips.

Looks like they are chipping for paper to me.

Link works for me.
I've seen that before and I imagined that it was for "biomass" fuel for generating electricity (probably Europe) and that was a plantation type situation with specific crop and machinery.

I want one...or at least rent one for a few days

Can they get the clean long grain chips to make paper with that process?

Around here the paper chips make very distinct wafers about 1 1/2" square, with almost no bark. Very distinct from hog fuel.

However, there are many uses for ground wood from landscaping to briquettes. Also potting and plating mixes. There is also a vibrant market for wood stove pellets, and an export business of mowing US forests to send "renewable" stove pellets to Europe.

I know little about paper chips but do see chip truck/trailers on the road all the time. I do know the chips must be clean as you say. Our buddy was a chem engineer at a paper mill and found hair in irollswhich was a no-no. They figured out when employees checked the run they lifted a hatch to look in, hair was occasionally falling off there arms. This mill made glossy magazine paper.

I'll see if I can find a pile of spilled paper chips for a photo. They don't seem to be spilling as much now as they used to spill, so it might take some hunting.

It doesn't mean they use the same chips everywhere. In the past I got some really bad cardboard packaging, maybe from India.

Ahhh, this is from Wikipedia on "Wood Chips" which I think is probably clean enough for paper.

Of course that doesn't mean other process wouldn't be used elsewhere.

I just don't think that forestry shredder is making these, unless they have an offsite sorter that we're not seeing.
