I have no idea how your chipper worked, but with my chipmore cnd it has set screws to adjust the blade stickout easily, and the anvil is set at a predetermined distance. The secret sauce that i learned from this thread is that if you shim up the anvil on a cnd (and regap the blades obviously)...

Anything lol. After i have one i can bitch about what i want differently, and that i should have bought blah blah lol

I need a mini :cry:

Hnmmm, didn't know they had that much power out of an engine that small! Mine has a 4 cylinder diesel, and I've seen others with the 300, so that's why i recommended it. I'm not familiar with the 2.5, but the 4.9 inline 6 is one of the best gas motors ever built, complete with timing gears...

A cnd chipper is one of those things in life that have a constant safety reminder system. Get too comfortable using it and it will slap you around some :lol: Awesome score on the chipper, but i think a 2.5 L would be a bit small. Hunt down a Ford 4.9 L out of a truck or something if you want a...

If you want a hand fed chipper to eat 4 to 6 inch limbs on down as fast as you can throw them in, a cnd works pretty damn well. They are simpler machines, and that has its ups and downs, but in my very limited experience they turn brush into chips very very well. I got mine for just over a...

I think the manually spinning is largely dependent on how the trailer is balanced. It's all i can do to lift the tongue of mine, move some weight around and it's easier.

Well, this chapter is about over, because i got the knives in, gapped, and torqued today. All i can say is wow, it's a whole new machine. With the raised cutter bar and properly gapped knives, it calmly sucks wood in, not bogging down the engine. I feed it some white pine (tree next to chipper...

I'm going the other way, almost all the way in. Since they ran them out so far, it beat up the threads, and even with tapping them out I'm gonna need shorter ones to be able to recess it as far as i want

Alright, blades came, got new bolts, slowly getting it back together. Decided to stick with the existing anvil for the moment, and cut some shims for it. Nothing crazy, just about an eighth of an inch, which puts me right over a quarter for the gap between drum and the anvil. Since you have to...

That's what I'm thinking. Or a backup, or for another crew in the future :/: Very good call there @Marc-Antoine, i didn't think about that.

Dunno on hp, but i have a diesel now, older idi obviously, air cooled actually, pretty cool. It's only a 12" but once i get this done it should be money (even more than it already is). I was thinking the slightly larger anvil to make the anvil to drum gap closer to .250, rather than the .375...

Alright, blast from the past, finally got around to doing this. Did a bunch of other maintenance on it this weekend, and finally got everything pulled apart. No wonder the gap was so much, the blades were way past disposal range. So treestuff has new ones, gotta finalize the order. They don't...

I need to land a job like that!

I've used a load handler for years, they are awesome, but I'm not gonna put one on my new truck :lol: I'm still planning on switching the bed out as soon as I get moneyed up again, and I'll build an actual chip box then

No i haven't yet, i need to do that as well. For now, keeping them sharp isn't a big deal because they are actually in pretty good shape still, almost as good as a pocket knife with very few chipped parts.

Yup, i got a Klien one i got for my knives (normal kind). It's sharp, so it chips, but I'm going to adjust it like we've talked about and get new knives.

I actually like the coupler, it's a bulldog one and locks very securely. Get it closed close to latching and a swift kick locks it up. I tried loosening the knives, but they are gonna require some heat and work to get em loosened up, so i left it for now because I'm doing a few trees right now...

She needs a good bath and some paint! But she does turn brush into chips, just need to get it dialed in. Working a fulltime job, and helping with 2 toddlers (especially when you have been on the road most of the year) is quite time consuming, so i take forever to get anything done sometimes.

I nabbed some more when i took the garbage out. The motor is a 4 cylinder, and it's air cooled, which is different. Rockwood clutch, which is worth what i paid for it. I need to put the other cover back on, had it off working on it.
