Timberwolf bearings

[roseyweb]

My last set of bearings lasted about 5 machine hours, they were fitted by my loacal TW dealer whos opinion and workmanship I trust, he says they rearly go even from poor blades the reason they went was a bit of Cordaline had went twisted around the bearing and broke something, he showed me and was correct. was only £120+ vat supplied at fitted,

chipped fan blade causing imbalance/vibration? ( if a 150)

we have had this twice once was a chipped fan blade and the other was a slightly distorted main shaft

That seems cheap mate I've been wondering how much it costs but not got round to checking. Ours has only done 500 hrs but I wouldn't mind changing bearings for peace of mind. How often do you lads change oil and filters on your chippers? I change oil on my pick up every 3000 miles but unsure with the chipper

Seriously? I didn't know that I was expecting a pm from you mate telling me to buy a jenson haha

depends on the engine air cooled service times are usually shorter than water cooled and depends on the oils used and the agressiveness of the work its done !

 

but anywhere between 100 and 300 hours is the usuall check the manual or ring the manufacture !

 

there recomendations are there for good reason lol !

I confused me self there I thought woodpicker meant that for the bearings. Ichange oil etc every 6 month at the moment but will check hrs from now on

[twistedhicap]
