yes that said 4. 18 stoner

Now this is just a guess but on some machines you can blank of a blade (2 in your case) to change the size of the chip.

 

You could probably remove the plate and insert 2 more blades but best to wait until a greenmech specialist answers this, or someone in the know.

Diven't worry. We went thro a period where people wanted bigger woodchips, so for some time we were fitting machines with only one row of two blades. This worked well enough and it did not effect the balance of the rotor although it was a tad noisy when chipping some timber. We went back to two rows of two after a while when people told us that the noise pressure was an issue.

 

If you want to send me a pm with the serial number I'll let you know its history etc.

 

Best regards

thanks greenmech mind at rest, any idea what clearance shoud be for blades and anvil,

[PeteB]

Blades to shear bar was a minimum of 2mm. Use high temp grease to grease the main rotor bearings, max 3 pumps per week. There are two nipples, one on the flange bearing and one between the rotor paddles. If you need any more help just ask. What is the serial number?

Best regards
