PTO chipper problem

[jmac]

My Kwik chip 327 ecoline chipper let me down yesterday. Groundsman was feeding it when the rollers stopped turning and the drive belt for the hydro pump started smoking! I cleaned out all the debris from the rollers and tightened the belt but it done the same thing after five mins. Any ideas what may have caused this? The rollers have jammed before but when reversed it clears it.

Maybe filter

Sounds worrying to stall the pump to get belts smoking!?! The hydraulic circuit should have a blow off/safety valve that would not allow the pump to do this! Is the return filter clean and oil in good nick?

Thanks for the replies. The oil and filter are fairly new. I will check the safety valve tomorrow. Hopefully its not the pump that's faulty.

I've had the chipper about ten years and Its been a great machine and up until now I've only had to replace the roller bearings and a couple of hoses. I just got the bearings off a bearing specialist in Inverness and filters off my local agri engineers. Not sure who the dealers were and don't think kwic chip exist any more.

You may also want to check roller bearings are not jamming because they are on the way out
