Urgent Jensen Failure Check yours ASAP

Recommended Posts

If we had a machinery rep making comment on a bit of dirt on our machines being the reason why a major component failed I think I'd chase them out of our yard. Yes it;s nice to keep machines clean but it's not reason for them failing, only a means of observing a fault.

Treegeek is simply passing on his experience and for that I appreciate his information

 

:thumbup: Thanks realy was'nt expecting such a bitching for a dirty machine for those who feel that a dirty machine is unacceptable sorry yes a bucket of soapy water would kill any one i agree i wish my boss would like give us the time too. I'm not an animal.

Never mind dirty...perhaps those with spotless machines have too much time on their hands:sneaky2::001_tt2:

 

Is that a 7.5 tonner you have it hitched too?

I imagine therein lies a large part of your problem. Lorry suspension is so hard compared to 4x4 or van etc that the stresses on the a-frame are much higher, and this sort of breakage is regularly seen on caravans and smaller trailed stuff towed by rally-ers etc. You may want to think about putting a spring loaded hitch on the truck to avoid this happening again.:001_smile:

that is shocking, i had a demo off redwood today of the same machine, i would have brought that up with him if id known. looks like an straight forward fix though. that really could have been a disaster.

amazing really, timberwolfs had a similar issue at one point, you would think that chasis builders would have learnt by now! poor welds, speed bumps.

Not had that happen, but once had the indispension unit peel away on a jensen in the centre of bradford, crawling over a speed island not 5 minutes off the motorway! jammed the wheel/tyre up against the body and we had to fetch the tractor to lift it and trailer it away. friday afternoon and of course every text on my phone was from someone sat in a sunny beer garden.

 

Unfortunately these things do crop up from time to time. Hopefully an isolated incident, but anything that makes us a bit more vigilant and less inclined to complacency is a good thing. Thanks for posting
