Cant be too hard to retrofit 2 speed tracking? Is it just an extra capacity pump?

Just to update and incase this helps anyone; the flywheel will come out without having to remove the top cover; so hats off to the engineer; going to try get bearings pressed on and off tomorrow. Def play in one of the bearings; just hope its the bearings and not the shaft.

First pic, I think I need a flat 24mm wrench! Cant get it with current one second pic, which way does this come out, engine or hopper?

Bob, your a star; thanks for that, should be able to manage that; I'll bring to a engineering shop to press off and on bearings. I think its worth being able to fix our own stuff; as its a great skill. That big nut, I have a torgue multiplier, so if I get the socket, I should manage it!! Thats a fair weapon you have there!! Thanks again, Drew

Chipper is making a right noise and have ordered new bearings, is it a big job? Ive changed bearings on stuff before so hoping this wont be any different. But would be great to get some advice and tips from anyone that has done this? Im thinking we chipped those bloody Cabbage Palms Cordyline australis way back and that did the damage as it blocked the chipper and problems started after!

Both mine do this if the blades are damaged or catching or there’s debris in the blades; have you lubed the blades as well?

I run a kioti ck3510, and its rated at 35hp; so if your aiming for 47hp, you will most likely have a bigger framed tractor. Ours runs lots of stuff, and even gets hauled into farm stuff, but I would say a very underated tractor. A lot of chippers are 45hp so your not going to be far behind. Secret is finding stuff at the right price. I bought a chinese rotovator and it went 50m and broke 6 blades. I sold it and bought a howard and still havent changed a blade, and I have been in quarries. A pto chipper if you can find one sh wouldnt be a bad buy, and some are bought and sit parked 364 days of the year.

My 190 will start to die, if I remove fuel lines, before lift pump, and blow back to the tank; it will run fine and then after 20secs to 5 mins will start dying again. Is it much of a job to remove hopper and diesel tank? I was going to clean tank and put in new fuel lines and go from there?

Lads thanks a lot for replying; this is great feedback. Sincerely, I appreciate you lot taking the time.

I have a couple of questions? Is price an issue? Chin straps are no more than 8 quid, even less, and as helmets are made by only a handful of companies; its easy add them on. Does anyone find chinstraps actually make the helmet sit better? Even if not done up tight? My own take is that the weight of the straps and friction along our ears and sides of face help reduce slippage and movement?? Does anyone find chinstraps, uncomfortable? Annoying? just too much faffing? Any other thoughts or feedback is welcome

I was thinking of opting for a TP250 or 270 in Sept but if your having this issue I dont think I will take the chance.

Getting parts here in Ireland for husky stuff is beyond a joke. I’d recommend a 540i but mine was 4 months waiting for a part in warranty.

yes I was going for a swinging rotator and grapple; down the line I might opt for a shears or something that can cut and feed.

I’m looking into a tp 250 pto chipper; a tractor as a base suits as it’s versatile. I’m looking at a 3 ton Kubota with a grapple to feed it; but I’d a 3 ton ok? I don’t want something too big or heavy. how are others getting on with mini diggers in the 3 ton category feeding chippers etc?
