Kiwi6920 Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Thanks for the info guys. I had never herd of or seen it done before. Its fairly intrestiing use for a ag machine. Jags are nearly as usefull as a swiss arm knife now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 so if the willow is harvested as a renewable power source,whats happening with all the elephant grass being grown around here ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Coppice harvesting it's more well known as. Willow/Coppice same thing grown for energy. Obviously the knives would need to be changed to cope with the harder materials? Or would a corn cracker work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 there were two of these harvesters at LAMMA show, we working across the uk and were parked up at LAMMA for show then were back to work on the friday, puts some stress on the machines chomping through willow etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 on my placement we just removed every other knife Suppose thats a logical idea! Does it not put alot of strain on the parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
