    my Bandit 1890 chipper is losing horse powr and stopping the autofeed! suggestions?

    I replied to you somewhere else but here goes again. Start by changing fuel filters. They should be changed when you do your oil changes. When a fuel filter starts getting plugged with moisture and dirt cold weather can compound the problems.

    Chipper help!!!

    Agree Fuel filters. At least that is the cheap place to start. Cold compounds fuel filter issues and machine starves for fuel. Filters should be changed on regular basis. Do it the same time your doing your oil changes and you should be good.

    Removing stumps w. excavator

    If there going to be building a road there going to have at least 20 tonne excavator coming out for that. Just contact the road building company and pay them a small fee to yank the stumps. Should take only a couple of hours at most.

    baby critters in trees

    Pretty tough to kill something that is so defenseless but like you say they are rats but of course everything breathing wants nothing but just to live. At least you took them out quickly leaving them in a garbage bag to bake in the heat would have been easy but not right.

    Vermeer SC60TX Stump Grinder (Hydraulic Problem)

    Danny Not sure exactly but here are some thoughts. Did you replace it with a cylinder from Vermeer or another type. If you have the old one check to see if there is a restrictor on the cylinder or could have a restrictor come off and was not replaced when you re plumbed the new cylinder...

    Stump clearing prices

    Bear Creek I would say you did not read his post all that well. He said "GarethVW: The stumps are smaller. Like 8" to 16" As for how many it is changes from maybe only 20 to 30 per acre where it is more field, on up to wooded with several hundred smaller stumps per acre. " Yes I am well...

    Stump clearing prices

    Are you kidding me? I can't believe I'm even replying to this. Just trying to find the stumps in a acre is gonna take some time. Even if you are using a larger self propelled machine thats gonna take some time to move to the stumps. I was going to write a bunch more but I can't. You know...

    What grinder to get to do stuff I can't do with my Apline Magnum?

    Scott are you no longer grinding anymore. You seemed to have a pretty good operation going. Did you move on the bigger and better or did I misunderstand your quote.

    vermeer bc1000xl overheating?

    How old is your machine? Check your rad. Often they fill up with wood dust and sap and need a major cleaning.

    Info on new lo-pro greenteeth system

    Stevo Send an email to New River Construction. They are the dealers for Sandvic in North America. They would know who the dealer is down under if there is one. At least they should be able to ship them to you. They are a sponsor on this site and have their logo at the top of the page. I...

    Info on new lo-pro greenteeth system

    I've been using the Sandvic system for about 5 years and I think it is bullet proof. The cutters are strong and last a long time. No other system comes close to the Sandvic system. IMO

    Vermeer Radiator

    Another alternative is goto the perkins dealer which is probably going to be CAT and get a price from them. I blew apart my rad fan on my stumpgrinder. Vermeer wanted 275.00 for the part. I knew it was a cat motor so I called cat and they had the fan for 106.00

    Stumper Teeth

    If your looking for rugged teeth in rocky areas goto the Sandvic grinding system. By far the toughest teeth I have ever used. I have not tried the multi tip so I cannot compare to those.

    Stumpgrinding wavier

    Wow 4" sounds pretty close to negligence on the part of the gas company unless someone regraded the area. A garden roto-tiller would strike the pipe.

    Stumper runs good but cuts weak

    The reason I suggest checking your pick up tube is the same thing happened to me. Machine was running but under load it would lose power. I checked everything, filters, injectors and everything had fuel. Checked my pick up tube and found some woodchips lodged in the plastic tube which was...

    Stumper runs good but cuts weak

    Check your fuel pick up tube. Over time it can suck up garbage and debris and jam up the tube. Also check your in line fuel filter if yours has one. If that's not the problem then you may have to start looking at injection pumps or maybe the cam shaft sensor. But the way you describe...
