![]() ![]() If the bearings in the chipper head get worn out they get hot, the heat goes into the shaft and crystallizes it, and then one day the shaft will break on you. Keep your knives sharp and make sure they are all the same size. Set the engine RPM's to manufactures speck's. Asplundh made a good chipper and will treat you well if you take care of it. So I have no desire to chip anything larger than two inches. I heat with wood so I use anything larger than two inches, sometimes smaller for food for the boiler. I know what the machine will take and cut the branches accordingly. I am not sure what the engine RPM's are 2200? Even a long bushy two inch piece will lug the engine down, so I cut them shorter. It doesn't like dry wood but will eat it with some persuasion. My 12" asplundh is powered by a four cylinder ford industrial and it eats two inch green wood, maybe two and a half. I have mine adjusted like the picture posted, don't see how you can adjust the floor plate, pressure bar or cutter bar to make the machine eat six inch diameter wood. You guys have better luck than I do with the machine eating a piece of wood. ![]()
