There is alot of uses mini skid loaders or sale.

 

[Blakesmaster]

Had to part ways with my climber who has been working for me for over a year. He has decided to become a Hare Krishna monk. Back to climbing for myself again which I'm looking forward too. I'd call TMD to help out but I'm afraid he'd just want to stuff his face at the Himalayan on goat curry.

I'm in the market a mini skid or tractor finally now that my finances are in check but can't find any use vermeers or ditch witches for sale, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. I'm going to go look at a Mahindra 3535 tractor later today, heard some good reviews on them.

My chipper's hydraulics are acting up again, can't seem to figure it out, slide box getting stuck open and the feed wheels are stopping when a branch hits them. I'm afraid to take it to bandit and get an arse rapping again with nothing getting fix. I'd think I'd have better luck taking it to a lawn mower repair man.

Lube the rails where the wheel slides up and down. Had the same issue with my 1590.

I'll try it that but I don't think that's it. Doesn't explain the feed wheel not havering the power to grab the branch to pull it in. I have to lift the slide box to get the wheel to pull the branches in. It's like it doesn't have the power to grab it. It's been going on for a while first with bigger wood now it's with smal branches.

Exact same thing mine was doing. A six inch chunk of wood would stop the rollers in their tracks and you had to manually lift the box to get it in. If you let the box go to full open position it wouldn't return automatically and you would have to manually close it. I didn't believe the tech either when he told me how he fixed it but it's been better than two weeks and no issues. Just put a good spray of lube on the rails every few days and you're good.

Thanks I'll give it a try, I hope that's all it is. What kind of lube do you use? I have use dry lithium lube spray in the past

I think the stuff they gave us is called White lightning thin lube.

 

[Blakesmaster]

I doubt it matters though. Anything could just get them moving a little bit easier.

Nice little project today..

A hairy krisna? Where do I sign up?

After I saw the hydro oil in my splitter I checked my chipper, it seemed just a little bit milky.

They say you can use regular motor oil on the roller wheel slider rails, anything should work.

I am not really a fan of goat.

 

[treeclimber101]

There ain't no ******* way that a chipper will stop dead because a rail ain't lubed .... You got a hydro issue . Sorry

 

[treeclimber101]

Oh BTW I googled mini skids vermeer into my search and walla ...... About 60 popped up so maybe you search engine is pooooocockeeeee

I've been thinking non stop about selling my asv for a gehl 540. Anybody here use one? It has a very similar tipping load but it's way more turf friendly and lower operator cost.

I too was skeptical when they told me that's all they did. But I don't find it reasonable that the Bandit dealer would fix an expensive Hydro issue and tell me all he did was lube it. That doesn't make sense either, does it? It is a night and day difference to how the machine operates. I'm interested to see his results as well.

Check the key that comes off the hydraulic motor that attaches to the feed wheel. It might be sheared. Thats an easy fix.

When a pump is turning a infeed wheel properly it will tear the bark off ... It will tear at it until it sharpened to a point ... Now I have seen them stop when the inside of the pump is bad and it allow the shaft to slightly cock to one or another . But that doesn't last as long a his problem ... My guess he's got something in the way of a valve or valve body issue going on or a flow issue ... And I don't trust the dealer as a end all be all fix either , sometimes they are shistie aswell .. Just saying sorry I didn't read that you were the one the replied grease it ..... I woulda just shut my mouth and been more agreeable ! LOL

Like I said, I'm interested in the results he has as well. I don't trust the dealer either but have issue seeing his motivation for pulling a ruse as elaborate as you're suggesting.

Ok ......

Gratuitous equipment shots for the day. Wish the stumper was mine, but not complaining at $250 for this maple. Probably close to fifteen years me and this guy have been doing business.
