GA Groundcare

Something we have recently started doing, if the inner race is stuck on the shaft is to use a flapper sanding disc on the grinder to grind down the race. It is easy to spot the moment the race goes wafer thin without marking the shaft. Then just tap it off. Much less risk than using a cutting disk to slit through the race

Shafts are screwed together. Although sometimes damn tight. Bearings can be knocked out and carefully knocked back in with a vice/soft hammer/big socket.

Depending where it’s collecting there maybe an update for this.

Great show again. Thursday was steady. Friday was really busy. Saturday was quieter than expected. The early afternoon rain pretty much knocked it on the head.

It is the same machine with less power.

Nice, what did you go for and where from?

Certainly get an EVO 205 GreenMech on demo. Kubota power. Good infeed and throughput.

Predator machines were stickered up Laski stump grinders made in CZ. Ben Burgess were the distributor of Predator grinders previously and have now gone direct to the Laski factory.

We've had this a couple of times over the years. Cleaned out fuel tank, filter diesel back into the tank through a water separator filter, replace fuel filter and it still not run quite right. Replace the rubber fuel lines, bleed up and perfect. Whether the cause is drawing a small amount of air in through a perished fuel line or perhaps drawing air in through where the rubber pipes attach to the filter/inline pump/injection pump its hard to know. Either way. replacing fuel hose has cured poor running issues before now. 9/10 times though the problem is fuel filters or crap in the fuel tank. Blowing back down the fuel lines to clear the tank outlet is just shifting your breakdown to another day.

19th - 21st Sept. Thurs, Fri, Sat.

Rev the machine up with no timber going through, rollers spinning forwards. Drop the throttle down to low revs. Are the rollers still spinning at low revs? Or are they stopping? Get a volt meter. Locate your forward solenoid valve. Check to see if the hirschmann plug is getting voltage. Should have no voltage at low revs and 12v at max revs. The stress control works at adding 12v above a specific rpm to engage rollers and removing voltage below a specific rpm to stop rollers.

Are you going Swinny?

We are now going to be displaying the machine at APF on the GreenMech stand. You are more than welcome to come and give it the once over!

Quite a few inc these. To be honest makes naff all difference to the temperature of the chip. Timber / chip is only in the flywheel chamber for maybe one second before it’s out the chute.
