Hi Brian
Looks a lot cheaper and simpler to maintain than the wood processor that Claas U.K used to haul round the dealer days , in the early to mid 90's. Did you ever see that demo
. Those big old pine trees used to go through that pretty quick also 
.
Regards Robert

Never saw that one Robert although one of the service reps, John, left Manns of Newbridge and set up in the forestry business putting tree processors on Hymac and other excavators. Wonder if that was related. Think he might have also been involved with Stephen Wallace of Wallace Agricultural.

Just don`t forget to let go! Would be nice to see it from the other side to see how the cutters work.

I guess the truth be told it was the Biggest Claas Jaguar self propelled Forager of it's day
, with the grass pickup removed. Then they used to crank her full bore. and feed 2 6" ish diameter 20 odd ft pine trees 2 at a time through the feed rollers into it, and chip them into a trailer. was quite impressive how fast they went through 
.I saw it at Riverlea tractors open night in a hanger at Haverfordwest show ground west wales in about 1992 or 3 .

They did use the big Jaguar to chop willow for biomass boilers.
I used a brand new trailed Jaguar to chop metal electric fence posts on a demonstration. It was left in the swathe by the farmer when he picked it up with the Vicon as he rowed two swathes into one. No metal detectors in those days and it went through with a bit of a bang and out of the spout in 1" lengths. There were only small chips on the chopping knives.
The early ones also used to send the sharpening stone some distance too as these used to fly off as you were running them across the knives.
