How far does your chipper fire!

[kentjames]

We have a greenmech arb 130 too and never had an issue with it firing into the truck, in the past we have had it happilly firing over fences etc. What RPM does it read when right up on the throttle? Are the blades new in it and whats the chip grade like coming out of it?

 

Sim, they are a great machine from our experience, the only thing i would have done was to get to 150 as the 130 suffers a lack of bottom end power some times being petrol, whereas the diesel has a bit more umph, its not detrimental to the machine but would be handy when banging through conifer at 5"

This is a video of ours when we first got it, the next day in face, but the chip deflector was down on it on purpose here

The chip grade is small, it's on 66 hours now and I have just fitted a new set of blades after rotating the old ones a couple of times. I think from memory it's about 2750 when on full throttle.

I have an Asplundh check and duck and it'll clear the front of the truck by 15-20 feet.

The other thing that won't help the situation is the massively long draw bar/a frame. It could easily be a foot shorter which would help.

It sounds like the no stress setting need to be changed as the revs are dropping too low before it kicks in. Mac at greenmech can tell you how to change the settings.

Nice one I'll look into it!

I was going to say that the only time my old Entec doesn't throw far enough is when the revs bog right down on a thick bush of conifer or a large log. It's gravity fed so down to me. If I feed it right the chip hits the back of my pickup cab pretty hard!

 

I reckon Sam has probably nailed it.

[Orchard]

Struggling to find how the settings can be adjusted for the no stress system. Does anyone know?

My Cs100 will throw clear over the top of a Ro-Ro bin if allowed:thumbup:
