I'm gonna wait for the chipper experts/dealers to give their guesses then I'll reveal the correct answer to all of you.

 

Good identification work on the Jensen.

 

That feed looks kinda small!

 

32 years in this business (NJ) and I aint met the guy that can tell how long any rig has worked just by lookin at it! Anyone says he can, he can maybe hawk you a used car or a stake in the Washington Monument as well!

Its not that small in reality, the pic was taken with a wide angle lens. So it makes the rollers look smaller than the are.

I know a man that could within a 100 hours, hey Mike?

I was late on this one.

 

I was going to say less than 750 hours. But you have to factor in the paint quality from the start. Jensen does vary in paint on some components.

 

By the way, how many of you Jensen owners grease the rollers with spray grease everyday as suggested in the ops book?

[Steve Bullman]

i do unless its only done an hours work or something stupid

[treejumper]

i was going to say just over 500hrs

OOPS Too late. My first question would be which model. 528 or 518? About this age the machine would have been wet sprayed so you would expect to see the bottom completely clean. look at the lower sides. Would i be right in saying thats about 20 inches missing. That would be 600 - 700 hours then.
