This is the bottom plate entrance. I have reached as much as I could with a long sawzall, needlenose, propane torch, blow torch, even hooked on to a tarp strap with a chain and ripped some out with a truck. The tarp seems to be folded in multiple layers evenly distributed along the knife edge...
Yes, I have removed all the side plates, top plate, bottom plate and chute/back plate. So it's pretty evident where the jam is. The angle to work on it is frustrating and literally in the worst spot. I will try and take some pics when I go out and work on it here in a bit.
So I tested it out on a ripped piece of tarp and it burned ok without getting "melty". But after a couple hours with a small propane torch and then moving to a blow torch, progress has been slow. Too much tarp jammed in the least accessible part of the chipper. I've come to the conclusion I will...
Indeed, I was thinkink torch as well. Its a treestuff haul tarp, which is pretty thick poly, and apparently very tough. Not sure what thats going to look like melted is my only concern

I've had quite a few problems with Global as well. Love my Bandit, but I've been looking at Vermeers for my next chipper because of the issues with Global. I've heard the same from others.
