Hi. So I was hoping someone could shed some light on my issue. I bought this chipper second hand and it worked great, as far as I knew(this is my first chipper and I have never operated any other chipper before) , but It looks like I might have an issue with my feeder wheel system. My chippers yoke only goes up and down when I move the lever in or out. Now from what I am gathering as of late is that the top feeder wheel should move up on its own to allow various sizes of lumber to go through without me having to push the lever in to move the roller up. Is this correct? Is there some switch I need to locate to put the top feeder into a float mode?
 
I do not have the hydraulic yoke on my chipper, but as I understand it, it should free float up and down until you decide to raise or lower it with the valve. The valve itself should have a neutral so that it can free float.
 
If it looks like it's been worked on before, I'd find a model number number on the valve and ensure it is the correct valve for the application.
