TP 200 PTO- please help.

OK, I purchased a TP200 a few months back buying blind (very bad idea:thumbdown:). So its been at the local chipper mechanics for the last month sorting leaking hydraulic motors and VERY slow/gutless roller speed intake.

Got it back today, firstly running in 540 rpm speed, the roller are still quite slow although much better then when I first got it, in 1000rpm speed, the rollers are flying round. So which speed should it run on?

 

Second problem - after about 6 branches the chipper failed to throw the chips out subsequently blocking the shoot. Any ideas why this could happen? :confused1:

 

Thanks very much for any help:001_smile:

TP200PH runs 540-1000 r/min and requires 40-80hp (owners manual specs).

Is the roller speed not adjustable - should be a flow valve on the side? I know it is on the 150 road tow i have.

 

I can email you a few pages of the manual later if you want, or give Mark a call over at AT Osbourne.

 

Regards,

 

Steve.

Cheers for help guys. As far as I can tell it runs fine in 1000 and I can adjust the roller speed from very fast to stop so that's all fine. But the chipper mechanic said the chipper wasn't meant to run at 1000 so obviously I tried it in 540 and that seems to be very sluggish and of course shoot blocking. Out of interest has anyone run a tp200 successfully in 540?

Blades are super sharp- they've just been sharpened by Atkinson Vos.
