Hour meter for CS100 chipper

[Sudu]

Hope this is in right place! Want to get a small hour meter for above chipper and would appreciate recommendations. Have seen them mentioned here previously but can’t find the posts now. Many thanks.

On other petrol engined site equipment I have used cheap ebay electronic tachometers. Sorry can't post a link...
When you do a search you'll find a few marine rated ones.

 

It worked alright on my petrol splitter as you can change from revs to hours. It just needs the wire wound round the plug lead / ignition circuit.

No electrical connection as such, all done by induction.

 

 

Used mine to gauge oil change cycle.

I put on on mine when I bought it. I got a cheap on off eBay that just needed a power and earth wire then you wrapped the signal wire around the HT lead. Took 10 minutes to fit. Did RPM and hours.

Tiny Tach fits pretty well.  I'm sure there are other cheaper ones that are just as good.

Thanks everyone, much appreciated. I think it was the TinyTach I saw mentioned here before. Just need hours for oil change and if we sell the chipper on later. We have a small 2.5 acre woodland so it won’t be doing a huge numbers of hours.

Well yes, these tachs are a real good thing to have on the lawn mower, generator, well anything petrol and a place where you can fit it. Chainsaws have very few places, but you will be surprised how quick the running hrs add up

And for those 4 strokes you can do the oil change accordingly ?

 

Edit, remember to get the correct tach, if using for a chainsaw. You need the 20k  otherwise it will reset.   

There was a thread not long ago where I explained how I know ?
