I have certainly accumulated a lot of kit. That's the problem when you start making money. The temptation to spend it..

 

Anyone want to buy a chipper?

As far as I know greased at start of each work day prior to starting up. At one stage wasn't sure so had new lines put in. Have even put grease nipples onto bearings to be double sure!

Hi Marc Sent email to Redwoods to to let them know. Realize out of warranty

It's nothing to do with greasing, the original cast bearings simply weren't up to the job. Get the new ones on and that's it job done.

Missed a call from Redwoods so will speak to them tomorrow. Nice surprise have to be honest and say have been upset about this. I accept machines break particularly if being worked hard or pushed to their limit but I feed the machine and even as on this case a bloke was working with me while 2 others did the cutting I do my best to check whats about to go through. Am toying with idea of permanent grease nipples actually on bearings so no doubt grease getting there.

thats not stricly true, if theres no grease they will run dry ,ware and oserlate in the carrage ,leading to premture failure.how ever it happens

Nice 1 Forst!

 

I was thinking the same and really like the product but am slightly concerned they never recalled the machines in the first place. Bits of broken up bearing cases getting into the works could get dangerously ugly.
