My new knuckleboom

[Steve Connally]

Mine is moderate. It should be a fine line between bogging and chattering. Sounds like a bent bar, dull chain, or maybe the bar mount a bent.

When's the last time u changed/sharpened the chain

 

[CanaryBoss]

The chain is sharp. Nothing is bent. I also have an issue with my Saw and tilt functions seeping down. Also, my chain will NOT oil. Not at all

Check the bar oil pump. There is a plug in the side that can be too long which bends the piston and jams it up. If that’s the problem replace the pump.

Until you’re oiling, it’s pointless to worry about saw performance.

I agree. I removed the filter to try and improve oil output but I got nothing. Do you have any pics or schematics to explain this plug?

 

[CanaryBoss]

Some pics for you viewing pleasure

This job was rough. 3 chip trucks full. Took almost 3 hours

I think I posted this elsewhere but I’ll put it here just in case

Is 'Megatron' the future of tree trimming?

Professional tree trimmers call it a grapple saw crane, but Canary Tree Trimming owner Justin Hartmann simply calls it Megatron.

No, but the oil pump is on the back of the grapple, attached to the oil tank. It's aluminum with a couple hoses going to it. Post a picture and I can tell you what's what.

Can you tell me what part of the image the part is on?

From what I understand the pompous part number 35. That’s where we remove the filter cover. It is a Metal mesh cover covering a red frame filter frame

 

[Lumberjack]

Part 35 is the pump. It has a hydro line and the oil discharge line. Internally there is a piston and spring. The plug on the side opposite the mounting side protruded into the cylinder and deformed the piston, jamming it preventing function.

I appreciate the info. Took the pump apart this morning. The piston is not returning, it stuck out. so it’s not pumping fluid. Another one is being sent to me. I should have it tomorrow.

Lil bit if tree work for ya.
