I've got the above stated chipper that has had the feed wheels stalling out on even small brush loads. If I use the hydraulic control for lifting or crushing while chipping I can get the feed wheels to grab and suck stuff in.
I've hooked up a hydraulic gauge to to the relief block on the pv1 and pv2 sides and both have read about 175-200 psi when at idle and having the feed wheels blocked. I've tried adjusting the pressure relief valve themselves and it hasn't changed the psi at all either way.
I feel like pressure should be higher on both the post block (pv1) and main system (pv2) sides. Could this be an issue with the relief block itself or more with the hydraulic motors since the main system side is super low as well?
Looking for some advice since the block and hydros are all a pretty penny by themselves.
