A few poor pics from day 2 of the oak tree removals, plus the new chipper in action.

Can you alter roller speed and the no stress settinng Mick? 

 

Like the style of the rollers on them!

[Mick Dempsey]

Yes speed control right next to the hopper. Don’t think the stress control is adjustable, why would you?

You can set it on jensens so it doesnt take in so much and knock the revs down so far.... so takes a bit and kicks in and revs stay up....

Yes I totally agree, with the Jensen, you slow the rollers in feed speed, so then the flywheel does not slow as much and there for you get a more general feed. Rather than the  the stop start like you had in your vid

 

cheers

Sure you can slow the feed rollers, then the flywheel won’t slow and the no stress won’t kick in, but why would you?

I'll put it like this, if you shove as much in your mouth as it will take. You then have to try and chew it and then swallow, maybe have a sip of wine to wash it down. Then have breath of air before you shove as much as you can in again.

or if you put a bit in and chew and keep chewing while still feeding your mouth have a sip feed a bit more, chew a bit, feed a bit. Etc.   It’s all about the sweet spot, in your feeding habits.

 

the same goes for a chipper..?.  Wmmv...?

[Mick Dempsey]

No equivalency at all.

Big oak takedowns today.
Apologies for the length of video. The last 30 seconds are the action.

This stick came easy.
But the other oak behind was heavily back weighted and leaning a bit backwards
Didn't have time to vid.
