TW125 in feed roller issue

[Gordon S]

Hi all,

 

I have a Timberwolf TW125 and am struggling with an issue.

 

The in feed rollers started to pause for a long time (5-10 seconds) while the stress control took over. It would then start to take material again.

 

Now the rollers start to roll once the machine is started but immediately stop once material is fed. The engine sounds fine and the revs are high. The switches work but it feels like rollers lack power/force to feed. 

 

If anyone has any ideas of where to start it would be appreciated.

 

many thanks

 

Gordon

Belts sound loose.

Just about to say have you checked the belt tension?

Mick beat me to it.

Thanks for the replies,

 

I did give them a ping test a couple of days ago and they seemed tight but I'll go back and check properly.

Ok then, maybe not.
