Unhitching the chipper whilst chipping.

[oldwoodcutter]

I ask that the chipper is detached before work commences, my transit is temperamental enough without vibrating all the electric connectors and half the other stuff on it for hours on end.

surly the tyres act as an anti vibe ,?????

[oldwoodcutter]

Thats true Johny,but the vibes are picked up off the towball,through the chassis, and upwards.Thats my humble opinion rightly or wrongly.

Depends on the chipper I reckon.

I never disconnect my little TW125 apart from to get an angle, but I wouldn't want my mates Bandit rattling my Tranny all day

I'd hardly be able to sleep.

i nearly always un-Hitch my TW125. not for the chipper, but for the pickup... i have an NP300 and if left hitched, you can see the truck flexing between the cab and bed. longterm this cant be good for the chassis.

And also it because you have nothing to chip into of course:001_rolleyes:

How far will you travel to work with that little arrangement?

Puts me in mind of a Lunar mining expedition:001_smile:

Dampers blowing are pretty much always down to the brakes not being correctly adjusted IME. If you feel the chipper/trailer bumping when you brake get it adjusted up by someone who knows what they are doing ASAP or the damper will be quickly destroyed. Setting up trailer brakes correctly is a bit of a dark art as far as I'm concerned - I'm not bad with spanners but I always leave this to someone who really knows what they are doing.
