So don't often post but need a rant, my chipper has done low hours and not been worked hard and still has had two major breaks 1st was the top feed roller/ hydraulic drive connector breaking then last Friday catastrophic flywheel bearing disintegration plus resulting additional damage in seconds before I could switch the machine off. I didn't think it safe to try to restart machine to load on to trailer. Hence good old JCB to the rescue to lift unit onto the trailer. And yes its paid for and yes its out of warranty time, so not a happy chap. Dreading cost to get it fixed.

Did you have cast or steel bearings as one of ours failed last week also, I was speaking with a customer on here today who has had the coupler fail twice also.

Oh yes great big chunk out of one so new set needed, plus belts, flywheel sensor and thats just what I could see anvil while need checking and when repaired it will all need to be tested to make sure nothing else knocked out of balance.
