Sorry Git, missed yours.

Feeding the correct opening is generally essential, although machines are available with secondary input options.

I've heard that some machines have 3 options, but only on your birthday and Xmas. It is usually necessary to provide extra lubrication, normally at least an extra bottle of Lambrini(other tart fuels are available).

"The chippers not chipping very well Bob". Thats what they reckon and they have not been feeding the rakings through it, yeah right:001_rolleyes:

I've got lads that are even more 'Special' than that. Didn't even notice an entire blade and bolt had come off/disappeared (obviously that wouldn't have made any noise at all...). Even though the chipper was shaking like a sh***ing dog as the rotor was totally out of balance. They kept feeding it and only gave up when it wouldn't eat any more goat willow. Didn't think to open it up for a look (all have NPTC chipper qualifications, for what that is worth!). There was a passing comment 'That chipper is really blunt' when they returned to the yard at the end of the day. So their Christmas party fund is an extra £1500 down now, to pay for parts. So don't despair Bob, it's not just you that is a magnet for eejits lacking mechanical sympathy and common sense!
