Sounds better than not pulling branches in at all, tis the way we always worked by stopping the feed with bigger branches. @Jase hutch will know

Yes, I had to do that with a couple of Arboteaters that I started off with.

 

Could be a number of things, but in the meantime operating the stop bar to hold the rollers on an ancient machine like that isn’t the end of the world.

Hello , it should flash red with the ignition turned on and the override button pressed,  then go solid red with the engine running and finally solid green when close to maximum revs.

It's like rubbing a magic lamp Jase, one little @ and out you pop.

If the No-Stress light works as stated , do the feedrollers infeed even at tick over ?

If so then the first thing to check is the position of the override tap ? This is mounted on the back of the chipper chamber next to the No-Stress solenoid valve , the lever on the tap should be in line with the fittings on the valve. If the tap is turned by ninety degrees the feedrollers will infeed regardless on engine rpm.

If the tap is in the correct position then check at the nut that holds the coil onto the solenoid valve  , there should be magnetism there only when the NS light is green. 

If this checks out correctly but you still have infeed on tick over then I would suspect a sticking solenoid valve.
