I provide wood debris collection/disposal services all over the NW focusing on the Columbia and the Snake for the floating stuff. Those pics are Lake Roosevelt at Kettle Falls. My good 'ol home 40.
We'll take our traveling circus to any of the dams where debris accumulates, use the tugs and boom logs to corral it up along the dam, tow it to the shoreline, grind it into a chip truck and hit the road. Quick in/out. Don't want the salmons and other fishy's being confused by rafts of debris blocking the fish ladder. lol.
That bad boy does about 30-45 tons an hour output (20 gallons of fuel/hr) in that type of wood. Thats about 30-40 mins to fill the big 56' chip trucks you see on the road. The Hitachi you see with the grapple and log splitter will almost never keep up with the machine.
Just something to do after the snow is gone. EW
