    Issue with woodsman

    Woodsmans do have a tendency to "self feed" even when the autofeed kicks on. Do you know what RPM your engine runs at with the clutch engaged and what RPM your high and low limits on the tach are set at?

    Help finding replacement forward/reverse valve for a 1994 Altec WD540D Chipper?

    GIve me a call at 989-817-4586, I'm guessing he just put some random log splitter valve on it because it looked the same and that is your problem. I should have something that will work for you.

    Morbark 1215

    I looked at a few of the 1215s we've had through here an they all had a AutoManufacturing brand clutch/pto on them. I would guess you smoked the clutch when you plugged the drum. That probably glazed the disk some but you'll probably be fine at least for a while anyway. I don't remember who...

    Altec chippers

    Personally, I would go with the Altec, they're super simple. The only thing the Vermeer has going for it, in my opinion, is the dealer network. Both are good machines for the price point but it's hard to beat simplicity especially in something that shakes and vibrates as hard as a chipper does...

    Altec chippers

    I don't have a ton of knowledge on the DRM 1217 but the DC1217 is essentially a Woodchuck Hyroller 1200 which is almost a carbon copy of a Bandit 150/200. I wouldn't be afraid of a Woodchuck or Altec especially when you consider they're usually priced quite a bit cheaper.

    Bandit Yoke Springs

    I've actually never changed or sold a set of springs for a 65xp, I'm not sure what their secret is but it doesn't seem to be an issue on those!

    New belly band, transition, discharge, fenders, tank, etc on a Woodsman 18x.

    Bandit Yoke Springs

    The correct springs for the 1590, 1890, 280, etc are only $24.00. I would replace them both and keep the one good one as a spare.

    A bunch of new steel and shiny paint later and this Woodsman is ready for another 20 years of service.

    Terek 720 vs 730 Chipper

    Call Paul at 989-817-4587, he is also a wealth of knowledge on the Woodsman and Terex machines.

    The machine changed hands a few times before it made it to our shop but we're guessing the bearing got the shaft that hot that the belt tension just folded it over but that still seems pretty far-fetched. We'll probably never know for sure haha

    Chipper Falling Apart

    That's what I figured!

    2000 1890xp with winch 125hp John Deere with just under 1000 hours. What's it worth?

    Does the chipper condition match the hours? A lot of times the autofeed tachs get changed and the hours from the old tach don't get programmed into the new one. If it's super nice, they're probably original, if it looks like it has 5000 hours on it, it probably does.
