bought my first chipper

:wavey:If the rollers just stop its down to hydraulic power not springs etc, if it's a problem just get the pressure checked.

 

i will get that checked then. if the pressure is fine what would your next thought be?

 

thanks

I would if the stress control is working/does this model have it? cant remember it has been a while since I fed one of those.

 

I would also engage the flywheel at a lower engine speed, goes in much easier.

 

Nice first chipper though.

the stress control seems to be working, it stops before stalling to build up the revs again before feeding again.

 

i just got told to engage pto at low revs guy at the shop did it on full revs so i just copyed never used a chipper which you have to engage

WHen I work for LA we had Vermeer, almost certain we engaged at low revs. Most of the later machines had an electronic clutch though to engage.

My greenmech 220 has a manual clutch and you have to engage at tickover as is wont rev until it's engaged. Always engage/diengage clutches at tick over, saves wear on belts etc.

engage the flywheel at low revs i shall remember it
