Ouch, that was a substantial lump. Awful feeling when you hear the sound of metal on metal coming from your chipper. My big worry is if something big enough got in that it could damage main rotor or bearings. I shudder to think of that repair bill.

i’ve got fuelwood coming out monday to give it the once over, not worth causing any more damage if there is a problem 

the guy i was chipping for was very perturbed when i told him i wasn’t chipping anymore

hell be even more pissed when he gets the repair bill

My sympathies are not with your customer in this instance, it's your livelihood. At least you'll get some comfort after a look over by Fuelwood at least. Fingers crossed its limited to blades and holders.

i’d already picked out a load of other bits of metal from the pile as i was going along, absolutely no care taken by the lads felling and stacking the trees. surprising really as they used to own there own heizo

The guy is a extremely good operator too.

Prob why they got rid, couldn't afford the repair bills!
Strange how some people think because the chipper is big it can cope with crap going through when in reality they are just as falable to damage as a 6"machine but with much bigger repair bills.

I charge 1000 per day if I can,  but it depends on the job. That looks a mess John. I put a scaffold pole through mine the other day, one of the worst things was a lump of lead though.
