Has my chipper come back down-rated?

[arbmark]

I did when I first got the chipper back but last two conversations have been through the dealers who are just being sympathetic at present. I just wanted to get some thoughts from the wider community here. some useful points in there, thanks. I dont want to do the model down, as it is a little beast.....maybe the grunt is the same but the roar is less....

If you look at the machine specs it says rotor speed 1800 rpm. So if yours was running at 1900 it was probably set wrong n maybe reason it went bang in first place.

Speak to greenmech directly for confirmation is what I would do.

thanks but it says 1900 in my manual right here. I had it running at 1860 before the 'bang'.

I've just checked the manual and your right it says 1900 rpm.

I will yep. Greenmech are happy with what they have done to the machine but I think there is another conversation to be had....maybe my old engine was just a beast with a deathwish!! its tricky. The old machine impressed everyone who used it.

id love to know what yours is running at Dave!?

Sorry I checked the manual online. We got 2 of the 160 quadchip they officially run at 2200 rpm but the gauge shows they run at 2140 and 2160 respectively
