Have owned one, worked on a couple. Not that counts for much but as far as general thoughts 1k hours is really low for year, I always compare indeed table paint wear to hour meter. The whole package should present like a low hour machine, hour meters break & get changed or just get changed...

The silence was deafening so I’ll chime in. Have owned several chippers diesel and gas. All disk. On all of them the slower the feed rate the smaller the chip. A Gravely 395 gave the smallest chips, but hasn’t been made for decades. It’s also a 9” machine. Keep in mind that a 12” chipper...

That’s how I understand it, great tip! How many hours on your 30?

Thanks for the response The 5 gallon bucket idea is great, will definitely try it. I’ve done this 6-8 times always a ***** and will be doing it again in the next few weeks. When I do I’ll show you a pic on how I modified front and rear wheels to greatly prolong life

i have always struggled with putting the tracks back on this machine, would welcome any suggestions/advice you might have. Thanks

Can you post a pic? Most likely have a solution

I ran a Dewalt Mobile Lock for years and it was ok, programming not real intuitive but it worked. This is going to sound crazy but my son gave me a “Fi” dog collar that I used in this application and it was better in many ways, cost, ease of programming, seemed to get better

I owned a 600 for years. Would work for pruning but counter productive on removals. The single feed wheel and undersized opening (6x6) really limits its ability to process Y’s, the air cooled gas motor has a short lifespan in this application. Mine had bad rod knock at 600 hours. If your a...

Let me start with full disclosure, I’ve never set a wrench to one. But it’s clear what your trying to do. Maybe tie a stout pull string to the old, pull out old line leave string in place and get a new one made?

It’s a rebadged Isuzu NPR. 88-94 ish, I bought one burned up on the side of the road and spent ALOT of time on it. Transmission is definitely weak link, if it’s an auto. Make sure OD works and no transmission lights are on for a thrown code. Mine needed one was very hard to find someone to...

I have same motor, in another application that I just got an OEM carb off EBay for around 130.00. If you buy one stay away from anything Chinese. If it was me, I would go completely new, that way you get new carb, starter, charging system, exhaust, etc. I think that block goes to 27hp, they...

First of all, you are to be commended for doing it right and being legal. There is risk involved, so insurance is required to get your contractors license. You need to think in terms of how accessible backyards are in your area. On paper, my 60TX Vermeer can be made to go 35 1/2” wide. In...

There’s a guy on here, Jimma who has a lot of experience with these, after much frustration I think he went to the Vermeer dealer and paid to have retrofitted to a B&S gasser. Vermeer does make a kit to do this. Everyone who owns this machine has faced this, the motors are garbage. I’ve never...

Mclauflin Verifier Cost? Well I found one on EBay in like new condition for 2400, new they are 5k. It was my third locator, 2nd Mclauflin. It gives you X-ray vision underground

For this and a lot of other reasons I bought a locator a while back. Always keep in mind a locate request only covers what’s incoming, and that is only to the respective meters. Any power, gas, to shops, lamps, dog fence, sprinkler wire, gates, etc is the responsibility of the contractor...

2018 as well.

My opinion is that it’s a very solid, reliable machine with great balance. It’s main weaknesses are bad visibility, limited sweep and really throws material. 4wd is a huge productivity booster, the blade was worthless and was off my machine quickly. I’ve done a ton of mods, get me your email...

Went down this road a year ago with my 372. Going to disagree with previous comment, absolutely buy the seal from Vermeer. This is an extremely heavy duty seal, made for the application. Go to a bearing supply house you’ll get a “will fit”. Also, replace all bolts in the bolt ring with...

The starting problem may or may not be related to clutch engagement on the wheel. If it were me, I would definitely iron the starting problem out first, as it will be the easiest and maybe effect the other. Pull battery, take to local autozone or other, have them charge it then load test. Of...
