Greasebanks on chippers, a good idea?

[dan494]

Having been at first recently collecting a new st6 with a colleague. We were told the following:-

"The pipes are designed to split if over greased, better the pipes split than have too much grease shoved into a bearing"

How you supposed to know they split if all behind the covers then? Surely if this was the true reason it would make more sense to put in a valve of some description that let some grease out?

Yes, doesn't seem plausible.

I hope you chinned him or at least poked him in the eye with a stick

I'm glad that's not mentioned in the manual, or to me when my tr6 was delivered. Does anyone else smell bull?

A big steaming pile of it.

For lubrication spare parts I thoroughly recommend a company called Halomec

I use their high pressure flexible hose in all instances and have never had a failure. You can buy it in coils and make up your own hoses.

Definitely worth a poke in the eye.

The reason tw don't put a bonnet on the little petrol 125/160 is because tree surgeons fell trees on in and brake it so you have to buy a new one so saving you money ! I s hit you not.
