Hey,

How can I tell if my chippit has stress control? Where is the stress control box and what does it look like.? If I haven't got it is it easily fitted. I have just got it and haven't put anything big through yet so I don't know if it stalls or not.

 

Advise appreciated

Fire the chipper up and run it on full revs with the rollers engaged in the forward position.

 

Reduce the engine revs to half or less and the rollers should stop as in theory the flywheel is rotating at a reduced rpm.

 

They are easily fitted but it may need a small amount of welding to fix the pick up sensor bracket in place

Cheers for the advise lads do you know where I could get the stress control components from if I don't have it. What are people's thoughts on these machines? Good / bad? Also can you grease the rollers because I can't see any nipples? Cheers

There are 2 grease nipples. One on each roller. Undo the plastic roller cover and take a look. If it has not got a no stress unit, then take it to a timberwolf dealer and get one fitted. Probably cost you around the £300 to 350 mark, but we'll worth it

The majority of these chippers didn't have any grease nipples for the rollers. I'm pretty sure they were introduced about 2000/2001

I'm pretty sure your right mate because I've looked and looked can't see anything. Do they not need greasing? Or if they do do you know how? Cheers
