You dont or shouldnt need new anvils. Open it up tomorrow, all you need are two 19mm spanners and check your anvils. They have a hell of alot of travel.

I'll do that and have a looki just want to have everything 100% ill put in some photos Tommorow

Many anvils can be turned in situ to a fresh edge.

These are just the one sided they as they have angle on them

Are you still running a 160 Mike ?
I haven't used a farmi for about 15 years but seem to remember the pto speed being relatively low , maybe it was on 1000rpm ?

I have the same chipper. I always run it on 1000 pto around 1500-1800 engine rpm 

Running on 540 when you have more than sufficient hp is just wasting fuel imo. Although below 100 hp this may be necessary.

Sharpening the teeth on the top roller can help reduce the amount of brash wrapping around it. As will sharpening the blades. They're well knackered.

As a rule those chippers don't like twiggy, twisty green stuff, so be prepared for regular reversing of the feed rollers and occasional opening of the machine to unblock the gap between the feed rollers and flywheel, especially on busy conifers! Not as big a job as it sounds. And less likely to happen when everything is sharp.

I've been using rotatech blades, I have 3 sets and there's usually one sent off for grinding, one in use and one on the shelf ready to go. No complaints in 5 years use. You may need to invest in an anvil if it's badly worn.

If you are still looking for blades, I have several spare sets from when I ran this same chipper, I think from memory one set is still brand new. All in good serviceable condition. Get them sharpened by a saw doctor, don’t do it yourself with a grinder and you will get the correct angles without heating the blade up. Call me if keen on 07768 791084 and I will see what I have.

No.

1700ish in the 540 box.
