Jensen A540 2013 problem can anybody help? The Bucher hydraulic valve block has electromagnetic valves. The one on the right (which activates for infeed) keeps trying to overheat. One has melted and the replacement (£100) is trying to do the same. What would be causing this and how do I fix? Thanks so much for any pointers!

I'll message you. Best, Thomas

Thanks, I'll pm you.

I would be interested. Where are you based?
Best, Thomas

If you haven't found somebody feel free to message me. [email protected]

I would be interested, depending on location. Could you let me know where it is?
Thank you!

No sorry, I'm looking for some myself but I was quoted £250-500 for small diameter stuff. I'm guessing that's too much for anyone...
I would have to measure but I think they're 16inch-2ft minimum on the ash and the two bits of beech are 30inch. One 3-4ft ash but I'm not sure on the quality of that.
Ok, thank you. I'm between sites at the moment. If you still have them once I'm settled I'll be in touch. Thanks!
-
What kind of diameter are these please? Thanks!
-
Yes please. I'll PM you.

Could you put in a non return valve after both the electric motor and engine? That way if you forgot to change the levers round before starting it wouldn't cause pressure problems? And with non return valves you wouldn't need to switch anything. Just either start the 12v or the engine...

Hi there, I would be interested in further details if that's ok? Kind regards, Thomas

That's exactly what I'm talking about! Great bit's of kit these! I priced one up- came out at about £14K+VAT. This is what I was wondering about linking together with the Logosol mill. If you played it right you could have the mill be demountable so that you could use the trailer and crane for collecting logs...

I wholeheartedly agree regarding the usefulness of a loader. But on a mobile mill there just isn't a way to tow a mill of this size and also get a loader to site that will lift the 2t+ logs that the machine will mill. Unless, of course it's a few days of milling and so worth paying for the transport to get a machine on site. But in that case I would probably look at getting the wood to the yard instead. A lot of my work is mobile milling for others and pretty much always it's a place that doesn't have a machine to load so I'm doing everything with a winch. My only other option that I can think of is getting the logosol mill and mounting it on a ti axle Ifor or similar and having a good size hiab on the trailer too. But you would still struggle to lift more than 1.5t with the kind of hiab that will be able to be mounted to a trailer... It's a tricky one really.

The woodmizers are a lot more expensive for the same things you can get on a £24k trak met machine and, to be honest, I think the trak-met machines look far more solid. The b1001 with smart set is about £15K+VAT without a trailer, so probably £17k or so with a trailer. It's a good price for a solid machine but I think when you are looking at logs that size you need hydraulic handling if it's a mobile mill.

£15k, that would be a steal- I'd drive into europe for that price. What I've priced up- which is pretty similar is £24k+VAT. I don't like the woodmizer offering and logosol don't have a hydraulic option otherwise I would be going for that instead as wait times a much less. A B1001 will cut about 850mm and a wide head on this machine will cut just over a meter.

Fair enough. It's a crazy wait for them at the moment. Earliest delivery date if an order was placed now would be Feb next year.

Thanks, I may well do (i'm already in contact with him) but wanted to hear feedback from an owner who has no interest in selling them!

I'm down near Oxford, so about a million miles from you! Thanks for your PM- I'll call you in the next couple of days. Thanks again!
-
Just wondering if you've used this much now and how you are getting on with it? I'm considering the same machine... Particularly interested to know how the 12v hyraulics cope with the logs you are putting on it and what the quality of cut is like with the wider head/smaller band wheels combo. Hopefully you don't mind sharing your experience for other interested sawyers!
-
Will PM you.

Put a post with details on here if you fancy. There may be somebody interested who doesn't regularly browse the classifieds...

I've been really interested in one of these but haven't gone ahead with a purchase yet. Please do let us all know how you get on with it (and a video if you fancy!!). Looks like a great piece of kit...

Jensen a540 2013 Hydraulic overheat
in Large equipment
Posted
I only replaced the coil but I took the block apart and checked it was all moving freely. There doesn't seem to be any issues in the working of the valve either on or off the chipper... Thanks for your help!
