My Dad purchased the first Vermeer tub grinder in the late 1990's. It's serial number was 0001. That was an awesome machine! I spent a couple of years working with it and a Komatsu PC200 clearing land and grinding wood waste.

A burning ban may seem silly but California’s Central Valley, especially the San Joaquin is subject to very stagnant air, especially in winter that produces “radiation fogs.” After a winter storm passes through, the clear air and damp ground encourages an overnight ground fog which is slow to burn off, and just gets thicker night after night and is known as a “Tule Fog” with 1/10 mile visibility, that will persist until the next winter storm passes through, clears the air and re-starts the cycle. Add smoke form any source, and it just gets worse. The Wasatch Front at Salt Lake City has the same problem, with freezing temperatures creating “ice fogs.”

There is a german company, Jenz, who also makes large shredders for bio-material. They make the BA 1016 with over 800 hp, a very impressive machine as well. They also make self-propelled models which are mounted on truck chassis, with a loading crane for feeding the shredder and a turning cabin which can be facing forward for driving or to the rear for working. They are in Farming Simulator as well.

I was camping near North Rim Grand Canyon and saw a Barko 937B going around on forest service land shredding trees. This went on for weeks. Much smaller machine than this (I'm seeing 300hp or so) and very different setup too, but I'm curious as to the reasons for doing it there. They were thinning, not fully clearing.
@sierrasoundsmusic
@sierrasoundsmusic Жыл бұрын
what you saw is likely forestry mastication, used to reduce (small diameter) tree density in forest stands that have not experienced the frequent, low intensity fires that they evolved with. Before mastication these stands probably had a high density of smaller trees from the lack of fire, which leads to increased danger for extreme fire events, as well as a general decrease in the health of the ecosystem.

Almond and Walnut prices are at the lowest point in decades. They are doing a lot of removal of old orchards, but are also removing a lot of good producing almonds because they are not turning a profit due to the market. In 2008-2010 farmers began planting almonds like crazy as the market was projected to boom - but new trees don't produce for 3-4 years. By 2014 the market hit it's peak and with all the new acres of almonds beginning to produce and be injected into the market, the price began to decrease - 2008 we had about 800,000 acres of almonds in CA - in 2021 there were over 1,650,000 acres - that number is now decreasing, being replaced by other more profitable crops.

It’s pretty clear you have no clue who I am. Don’t assume. Kinda a pretty straight forward thing. Your gonna tell me burning debris is tied to healthcare cost? Wth are you talking about. That has nothing to do with healthcare cost. Healthcare cost are due to red tape around drug r&d, cost around drug r&d, Medicaid and medicare billed/charge rates , red tape for providers and provider entities, liability for said entities, rules and regulation, compliance with thousands of rules, regulations and mandates enacted by the government, overhead to comply with all of this. I could go on and on with this but I’m the one in this industry and you are not. Keep thinking its because we are burning tree waste while we mine rare earth minerals and shipping it all over the world to make your electric car or increasing power plant output to charge your EV or better yet regulate all the water in California so farmers can’t use it but complain about high food cost. It’s all full circle and comes back to over regulation passes on increased cost to consumers. Period.

@Treehandler
@Treehandler Жыл бұрын
Disconnecting the neck takes me about 2 minutes total so that’s not where I see the benefit. When you are picking equipment up off-road, the trailer tends to sink into the mud when loading unless you put blocking down, which can make it difficult to hook the trailer back up. Also helps where there is limited access, you would need room for machine to get around truck or trailer to load so backing right up to machine is helpful. Lastly, you should use mats or plywood when tracking over asphalt so this could limit the need for that considerably.

I always though that if you tilled chips it would kill soil life. Soil bacteria that thrive off carbon would decompose the chips, multiplying exponentially and saturating the soil with affixed carbon instead of nutrients. Best to leave the chips on top where they can retain moisture. But hey, I'm not the one getting the gov subsidies.

@brunetyannick1174 Жыл бұрын
It kinda depends of the depth, quantity and quality I think. If it's high C/N wood, from trunks and old branches, tilling it in further than 4 inches leads to anaerobic conditions, the wood doesn't decompose at all, turns hard and grey, etc... Especially in low humidity conditions. And nitrogen hunger on top of it as you mentioned, that can go on for a looong time. Not a fan of this method either.

So you cant burn it but you can burn tons of diesel fuel, co2 into the atmosphere is most likely more grinding and spreading.

Now in terms of carbon - with fossil fuels you take carbon from underground and move it to the air. Trees take carbon from the air and wood is mostly carbon. Burying that carbon back in the soil sends it back where it came from. It's also not a few days, it's a few hours. The wood chips do wonders for the soil and that has made California the state with the most agriculture output.

Can’t burn wood but you can run few extra huge diesels engines a few hundred house to take care of what a fire could in 48 hours.

So correct me if I'm wrong. But you can't burn because of particulates that go in the air but you can burn 1000's of gallons of diesel running the machines that mulch the waste? 🤷

Wood chips are great for the soil and a big part of what made California the agriculture capital of the US. Those diesel engines don't run long enough to burn thousands of gallons, they get it done fast.

@@aminy23 Fuel Consumption of the C32 engine. The engine that's in the chipper. This is not including the other plant on site. 100% load with fan - L/hr (gal/hr) 262.7 (69.4) 262.7 (69.4) 238.6 (63.0) 217.9 (57.6) 75% load with fan - L/hr (gal/hr) 195.9 (51.7) 195.9 (51.7) 179.2 (47.3) 164.8 (43.5) 50% load with fan - L/hr (gal/hr) 135.9 (35.9) 135.9 (35.9) 125.8 (33.2) 117.2 (31.0) 25% load with fan - L/hr (gal/hr) 80.8 (21.3) 80.8 (21.3) 75.9 (20.0) 71.4 (18.9) So yeah it does use 1000s of gallons of diesel if used at 100% over an 8 hour day. Which it will be inorder to chomp through the trees they were feeding it. Even at 25% it uses 21.3 gallons of fuel per hour!! So you might wanna check some facts before commenting. I'm not disagreeing that chippings aren't good for the soil. I was just struggling to get my head around the can't burn the timber because of the particulates it would put in the air but the Californian gov are happy for a massive diesel guzzling engine to put particulates in the air. Wood burns damn cleaner than diesel that's for sure.

It’s hard to call something West Coast style when only one state on the West Coast in the lower 48 does it that way. We don’t do it that way in Washington we don’t do it that way in Oregon they don’t do it that way in BC. Stop calling it West Coast style and start calling it California style that’s what it is

Mh. Bare soils, wind erosion, heavy tillage, heavy machinery, treeless drought-ridden soils on huge surfaces, into intensive monoculture. A recipe for success for the Californian soils.

Of course they don't mention that another reason that they shred trees is that we have 89 electricity power plants in the state that are fueled entirely by burning wood.
