Timberwolf S426 shredder. Feed speed?

Recommended Posts

I have a road tow timberwolf S426. On basal and epicormic pruning of Limes (It's main job) its regularly struggles to throw the material far enough into the tipper.  Its mainly when there is a big bundle of branches and the engine speed drops a bit. Drops it literally 1.5-2m from the chute to where it lands. This is annoying! 

 

I wondered about reducing the feed speed - there isnt any adjustment as standard. Any thoughts on how I might achieve this? 

 

The 2nd thought is change the hammers for sharper vegetation focus ones (standard are more for bludgeoning than cutting).

Talk to Timberwolf direct, I think that another fan can be fitted to increase "blow".

As in a 2nd fan or changing original? I changed the original about a year ago as the previous owner had bent a fin. I had hope this would help but not much.

Hi , morning. To start there are just a few things to check. firstly the hammers ,apart from sharpness, make sure the hammer bushes have not seized so that the hammer on to the shaft doesn't spin? Secondly , are the anvils still good?

and it is not unknown to have something stuck in the chute like a lump of rolled up wire ?
