I have a forester duo135 and the feed rollers have stopped working can anyone point me in the direction of someone who can repair it.Iam in the north east of scotland if that helps.

To be honest, I'd take it to an Ag Engineer and give them the phone number for Hardmet Landforce for advise. I'd also look in the owners manual to see if there is any advice or hints in there. How does it work? do you know?

 

Check all electrical connectors from the hydraulic spool valve through to the computer and from there back to the measuring device for a start.

is there water in your control box? also is there 1 or 2 control boxes?

i have a landforce and had simular trouble.

if you set your machine running and on the end of your hydrolic valve theres a dimple in the middle if you push that in it should set the rollers going.Trying this should tell you weather its hydrolic or electrical.

The other problem could be the switch on the stop bar if thats faulty then it wont enable the rollers to start.

If you hold the feed in button do the rollers run?

Here is an update it appers to be an electrical gremlin that is the problem. When the engine is up to full speed and the In Feed is pushed it blows the engine fuse and cuts the engine off but if control panel is bypassed the feed works and the engine fuse is ok, control panel I think at £450.

check the resistance of the solenoid for the feed and the wiring going to it sounds like somethings goin straight to earth
