I'd start with the cheap things, maybe fuel but, if it switches off cleanly then I doubt it is that. Could be an oil pressure sensor going faulty, could be a water temperature sensor going faulty, if the battery or alternater is not good, then maybe the engine is being switched off to poor voltage not keeping the solenoid open? Ask your supplier to have a look.

Good to see praise these days. Thanks for posting, I'll see that a copy of your post gets to them.

As an example, I once let my 7yo son look at a car forum, just looking for pictures of cars. Two pages further on was some porn. Not what I would want my children to see! His mother's boyfriend 'effs and blinds' about the house freely. I feel that while we all know the words, it shows a lack of respect to those around you using such language. And poor intelligence in not finding an alternative! The mods have a on awful lot to do to maintain this as a worthy forum and sometimes, posts get modded while others get through. I think that self policing on a minor, avoidable point is best. While we may use crude vernacular daily, committing it to print is another!

Timberwolf TW230 tracked chipper feed roller problems
PeteB replied to vdubber79's topic in Maintenance help
I think he solved it back in 2016!?! -
In all honesty, save up some money or get a good one on finance. All these cheap Chinese things are cheap for reasons, and one of those is that there is no back up or support from the seller. Buy a reputable make that came (or comes) from a reputable supplier and has value going forward.

Good luck with your search! Cracking tools, certainly enjoyed using mine and helping Richard Barber from Windley Hill Sawmills in Turnditch with his on a couple of jobs in the 80's and early 90's!

They do comply if the bottom of the infeed is above 600mm off the floor. The spec is/has changed so that the bottom bar and below 600mm is the way forward. I reckon that we have sold our last top bar machine and everything is now bottom bar or twin bar. As long as the controls function as per the original spec, nothing needs to be changed.

Hard to steer unit and hold it in the back wheels and use hand winch at the same time usually. Any small electric winch would do the job. Seen it done with our CS100!

Get a small electric winch and ramps!

Hendersons in Selkirk have a couple of big Farmi units for sale.
-
Who brings them into the UK? Are they fully compliant with UK regs? I cannot find a webpage for them, gave you a link?
-
Sound advice. If he needs something under 750kg then I doubt that there are many options! Go for a QuadChip if you need sub 750kg and like turntable option!
-
I may well have been tempted to go to the local belt supplier with it and they may match it up with what they got it in stock. As a Perkins part, I doubt that GreenMech would have it in stock anyhow. Your Perkins engine dealer would help but it would be a trifle expensive from them I'll wager!
-
Some Ex-Ute stuff is as said, extremely utilised! But they aren't all like that and sometimes very well maintained on a lease package. View it, by cynical, leave the rose tinted specs at home, go to the auction and sit in your hands for the first few and see what happens! Good luck!

I don't think so! I don't use mine. I got a works phone and it still drops some 40% overnight!!!!
-
I got a Sony mobile, XA1, the missus had one and do did her eldest. Got to be honest, phone was okay, a couple of decent features but battery life is awful! Indeed woefully inadequate! Anyone know of a fix?
-
Jesus Wept! Wouldn't recommend them ever! They are so dangerous they should be banned!
-
Sounds like NFN!
-
Top advice from the man who knows!!! Anyone seen this man at shows?
-
Blimey!!! Them CS100 copies from our old dealer in Italy have gotten expensive! Why the price hike?
-
A few folk have tried it but it is too complicated and in the end, the best way is tipper truck and tow behind. It may be possible with a small thing like our CS100, but even then, the infeed becomes too high! A machine with rollers will be, again, rather high. But also, the nose weight of the trailer would bedroom heavy empty unless you have a sliding bogey axle! I haven't seen such a tipping trailer. Then, as you load, the axle will have to moved progressively further back, so very complicated.

I'm selling our demo CS100/18 for £3944 plus vat. British designed, built and supported! Twin cylinder, 18hp, electric start, warranty etc!

I'm a Manager with engineering skills and there are times when I have to put aside the nuts and bolts thing and recognise the need to Manage letting the engineering wait and other times being strong enough to embrace the engineering in the management decision!
-
I presume that you mean oscillate rather than isolate? 'wobble' rather than 'set apart'? You are right in that a flywheel can minutely change shape as it rotates at speed an bites into wood - added to that motion, a tracked machine also has gyroscopic forces to contend as the chipper is tracked about. This too can cause movement and accelerate bearing wear!

Not always, managers manage a different set of scenarios, some of which will make no sense to an engineer while an engineer is black or white stuff and nothing in between. Having said that, an engineer and a business manager will always clash as they want different things out of the project.
