Greasebanks on chippers, a good idea?

[Ty Korrigan]

I'm a fan of convenience but see the sense in checking individual grease points too.

However, why can't the pipes be in copper or a higher strength plastic?

I've had bearing failures due to the pipe splitting or coming adrift from the zip ties and being sucked into the ventilation fan.

Overall, I'm not a lucky chipper owner despite my best efforts in caring for each beast.

Just an idea so don't shoot me down on this.

What if machine suppliers offered a short course in maintenance from changing blades right down to flywheel out.

Actually I got told a belter a couple of weeks ago!

 

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.

From a few days ago

 

The plastic pipes are a recent thing, in days of yore they were steel and if you are willing to pay for the extra work, they can be again.

Not saying a name. No it was serious sales patter. They all do it.
