Wow 60ton handballing, sod that!
How bigs your trailer?

Not as big as my shoulders  were  ?  was a right job getting a lot of shit logs n crap rid of in the  lower field. And it underscored how good the heizo blade design is as we were resharpening every morning which is easy when blades are credit card sized.. K

Well after a lengthy debate they are not budging.

It won’t be covered under warranty due to the copper grease and he said himself the torque was correct at 310nm. I explained I think it’s ridiculous.

I was told on Friday the bearing could go so best to change it, he was going to get me a quote Monday. Monday no call, Tuesday I called said I’d get a return call nothing. So today I called them and finally get a returned call.

For a company to pride there selfs on dealer support I think is bad. They have had the chipper since the 16 June.

I’m being quoted 1300 odd plus vat for a flywheel bearing which I think is on the expensive side.

Can anyone comment on the price of the bearing as I thought it was a straight forward job

I don't run chippers, but I usually equate such weasel words from a dealer with a certain other chipper dealer...?

I had to double check your post there, 1300?

There is a place near me,  take in an old bearing and they can match it up.

I had some very unusual roller bearings on the crusher that were horrendous price from the manufacturer, around 200 a pop. This place supplied them 50 each.

Well he originally asked me 1500 plus vat. Do they fit them as well because I haven’t got any idea on how too. Where is he located?


Apparently it’s an 8 hour job to do it

They are in hemel hempstead. They supply belts and bearings. I got all my belts and bearings for my entec refurb from them, and fitted them myself. Is suspect it will be a big job, lots to remove to get to them, and you may need a press to put the bearing in. So I take it that price he quoted was supplied and fitted, not just the cost of the bearing?

Yeah that’s fitted as well, I’d of had a heart attack if it was just for the bearing it’s self

That will be for the bearing and the pillow block.

Any Ag engineer will press those bearings out and put replacements in for a fraction of that price.
