got myself a log splitter at last

Do you have to run the chipper flat out still?

 

no it gets through even tough stuff at tickover, not too slow either, it does go a bit faster at higher rpm but im scared of losing bodyparts by rushing:blushing: as for price, if the woman sees this she will go spare.. £750-supply/build, £180-hydraulic components inc fitting:thumbup1:

Sounds alright to me mate, i wouldnt like to be running it flat out but tickover is good

[slasherscot]

Very good, be a proper job if Andy's made it:thumbup1:

 

Not sure about running it off the tinnywolf though, gonna be adding hours on and those bearings are made of chocolate.

 

disconnect the belts and u dont have to run the drum and rollers:thumbup1:

you guys worry too much, its a machine engine running on red for next to nowt, if anything the extra weight of the flywheel will help the engine rotate smoother? and the bearings will be replaced when they go and im not worrying about them, hourcounter? its still a low hour machine so maybe running this on low revs will help bed the engine in rather than the usual warmup and full revs routine? i have no plans for selling it anytime soon so will keep modding till it looks like it belongs on pimp my chipper:thumbup:

Tying it to the dogs collar to get it home is a bit harsh!!!
