150dbh, rollers stopping on larger material.

[Suffolk-Matt]

As per title, happening more often now, the rollers will stop/freeze/jam on larger sections.

 

A quick reverse and it will carry on fine.

 

Fluids levels are good, greased etc

 

Where do i look next?

 

Thanks

If there's a squealing then belts need tightened!

Mine has done it from new 2007, never got to the bottom of it. New brain made any difference

Not what I wanted to hear.

 

Mine just seems to not have the power on the larger pieces. It will start to munch them, maybe do a foot, then the freeze.

I'd Try a new filter and new oil before anything else

check for any ware on the splines & roller box,big logs may be forcing the roller on to the casing if ther is excess waere ,on the ensd of each roller is a carreier fitted with a nylon bush if ther worn the roller drops ,

Fluid and filters done recently, was doing it before also.

 

JW, will have a look for the wear you mention, thanks.

Presume there is a hydraulic blow off valve?

Is this adjustable?

[Breezeblock]

before you even think about touching the hydraulics get a gauge on it and read the pressures
