6" Entec Roller problem

[Jonathan O'Leary]

Hi all,

 

Just starting up for myself so brought as much as I could for as little as I could but tried to keep to the good stuff, ie Stihl and Entec/Timberwolf. 3 months ago brought the 6" Entec chipper off Fleabay, worked great but last few days after about 30 mins the infeed rollers stop working, it will kick it out, but won't roll in, bit puzzled, just wondered if anyone else has had this and could offer any light on it, or a trip to Lister Wilder might be in order,

 

Thanks Jon

I personally think you have contradicted yourself in your first sentence, but on a serious note, put this thread in the Timberwolf area of the forum, and they will get back to you.

has the hydraulic oil filter been changed and is the throttle staying on full i had a similar problem with a hired chipper

Josharb on here mentioned to me about using a bungy to keep the throttle on full it worked fine then

I had the same problem recently with my chipper, it turned out to be the switch that is operated by the safety bar, to test this out you have to join the two wires within the switch together, if the feed wheels now spin forwards as well as reverse then this is your machines problem.

I had a problem like this and it was the anti stress device (mine is on a 98 Entec)!! Would have been expensive to replace but have got a mate that knows about circuit boards and computers and he fixed it for me:thumbup:

I had this prooblem many moons ago, can't remember exactly but think it was coondensation in the vickers unit. Bypass it by joining the two wires together like High Scale suggests, to eliminate the possibility.

 

Also recall having problems with the female spade end connectoor on the back oof the ignition switch vibrating loose.

You can bypass the anti stress device to check if that's the problem.

Wow thanks guys for all your replies, a few things to check tomorrow than. If its left for a few hours its fine for about 30 mins or untill I need to reverse the rollers, then it stops again. When i got it I was told it had just been serviced, wasn't sure till i saw that the oil filter was new, but I might get it serviced again. I couldn't afford the fancy no stress device lol.

 

Again guys thank you so much

Hmm, sounds like a hydraulic problem.
