Farmi mastersplit question!

[JimE]

We had this problem a few weeks back but chainsaw was slow all the time it turned out the plate that neutralises the ram was worn, so would not neutralise the the ram when the ram returned, just welded a quarter inch extension on the plate on the splitting end runs fine now.

 

Are you 100% sure there isnt a little bit of wood wedged in the slot that the splitting ram runs in stopping it from retracting all the way.

It can be very hard to spot!

When the saw comes down, how close is it to the end of your splitting ram (when the ram is retracted)?

 

Do you have a photo of where you welded the bit on, I dont understand exactly.

Hi Ash,

no worries, I'm pretty sure its the chainsaw valve, but I've been wrong before!

Back on the 6th, but PM on here etc and I'll see it.
