My vermeer 1250 has autofeed ,but when i turn it on the intake wheels just stick.It would be great to use this function because i wouldnt have to babysit my chipper.does anybody have any ideas?

I found this product to add auto feed to my bandit http://www.radioremote.com/products.htm after talking to several users of the feed. I feel this product is a great step up from the factory setup you can order it directly for 299.00

My current auto feed system doesn't work either- Would vermeer install that system if needed?

Dan, I'm researching the valve you will need a 2 position electrically controled Hydraulic valve for it to work with the reverse.Or just a single position for just forward.Of course the reverse will pull the blades away from the cutter for faster rpm regain. I'll have the info on that Monday. I'm not sure how much it will be yet .The control Company doesnt sell a valve.Now if you already have some type of auto feed you wont need a new valve.

I Dont know, after i get my control and valve I'll post on assembly directions. I talked to Kurt Snider the owner he designed the unit he could probably walk you thru installation over the phone.

magic, Call Vermeer and get instructions on how to adjust the auto feed. Likely the on/off sensor, which is tied to the rpm/tach, is out of adjustment.
