The Wee Chipper Club

Im very intrigued to hear how this goes. Have also looked at the same machine online. Videos of it in action maybe?

When I look at forelast pic, it seems as if you can adjust the belt tension using the two screws below the engine facing the discharge chute. Maybe you need to loosen the engine mount before in any way.

Thank you,

I didn't see this before.

I now realise that I have come across this system before when I owned a Bandit HB20 Sidewinder.

You've put the feet on backwards! 

It looks very similar to my Lumag Rambo Hc15.

?....?....?

FFS!

I've not actually tightened the bolts on the foot either.

Undecided whether to fit the towbar as yet.

I tend to put the drawbar on as it counterbalances it when you're chipping long brash, if what you're chipping is weighty it can cause the machine to tip back. Just depends what you're chipping really.  I just do it finger tight so I can easily take it off to fit it in the back of my van.

Qu:

When you measure this type of bolt, is it the entire length or just the thread?

These are M8 and 25mm total length, I'm looking for a source online if anyone has any links.

I can buy them from Agrieuro, just looking for a better price.

Total length of bolt for CSK. Length of thread for headed bolts.

[petercb]

Bolts are only threaded for part of length, SetScrews are threaded for full length.
