Timberwolf 230vtr speed 2 fault.

[Scott Walker]

Hello Gents,

 

My Timberwolf has had this problem for a while now, its chips faultlessly until you stick something big into it! then the rollers just won't take it! you have to try it about 4 times before it'll go through, sometime it won't be an issue, but it seems to be getting worse. Done the usual checks of belts etc all good. But I have the speed 2 fault showing once I put the engine past half revs!

Any ideas?

Mine did this the other week, it is a hydraulic valve that's on the side of the engine near the starter

Our machines are a similar age I seem to remember mate, it's a rubber seal that goes but it's best to change the whole thing.

Might be worth having a chat with Aidy at Spectrum Plant first though. He knows his stuff.

Hi Hodge mate, long time no speak. Yes I replaced the control valve unit about a year ago, as the rollers completey stopped. So hoping it's not that.

Ahh, did you change the unit or just the seal? My rollers would turn no problem but when you tried anything over 2" it wouldn't take it in. I took it into him and that's what it was.

Yes complete new unit. I don't think it's that! I joined the two two wires in the control box which bypass the stress control so I believe, and it chipped anything then, so must be an electrical issue or a faulty H box.
