South Carolina Fuel Chipping and Logging Operation Part 2 of 2

We filmed this video on the 3rd of May, 2013. This contractor was clearing land that will soon be farm pasture and all of it was fairly immature and being processed into fuel chips. The Woodsman 337 FC is a excellent drum chipper, with a CAT C18 Engine at 700hp. This chipper will load a Van with approximately 28 ton in less than 15 minutes. As you can see the skidder operator is keeping wood to the chipper pretty steady and he has a good supply of additional stacks which he can grab from if the skidder is not back immediately. The setup is very good. With most chipping operations the trick is logistics and keeping vans coming to the chipper. The chippers are so productive that the bottleneck is the availability of trailers and trucks to move the product to Mill.
