I gotcha ..maybe cause it was a nine inch and doesn't produce a lot of power . I currently run a bandit 200xp with Deere 115 HP and that eats everything up to 14 inch while hardly slowing down ..not that I consistently push it for that ..only once on a great while does something jam up feed rollers , usually vines or stringy shit ,but a push and pull of the control bar usually solves the problem whenever this rarely occurs. Even without the extrawide indeed tray this chipper makes most crotches its bitch and the ones it doesn't we cut cause its probably to big to handle quickly anyhow. I have used a nine inch terex brand new with less than 10/hrs that we blew the whole top of the machine right off..disc cover and discharge chute ..along with chipper knives and nuts n bolts .threw the top thirty feet up in air and 16 feet away from machine, just adding that to promote the fact that 9 inch is not a very production size machine for most tree outfits these days .
Whoa! Chipper explosion.
You could say sensational .. My sense was extremely fucking scared and when my heart sunk lower than Ive ever felt on the job.. during the explosion my cousin who was operating the feed control bar got hit in the thigh with a chipper knife that sheered off. When it happened he ran faster than I've seen a man move and fell to the ground in a ball.. I would say I was in a place in my mind I'd wish on nobody else. Cause I thought it was worse for that moment with the chipper still making that horrific noise of metal killing metal...luckily we worked together today..I'm not gonna go into more details..or waste anyone's time..the whole sensational thing just kinda brought me back..and it was straight up Quercus Alba and nothing but that killed that machine
I got a 2001 with the yokr. Don't feel ghetto , your just a hard working man.

I rented it to get me through a job that I couldnt change date on when my older chipper gave me troubles that morning ..two branches in and boom, no signs of malfunction.I think the rental place never retorqued knives after short break in maybe , like I said it had no more than 10hrs on it.Bonner from treestuff may still have pics . I emailed him pics a while ago about it after treestuff started with terex. P.m. him if you wanna see or if he can put them up ..or the terex rep for N.j. will know about it probably . I'm thankful quite often nobody was seriously injured , my cuz was out of work for a while with a bigg ass bloody lump in his leg ..six inches over to the left it could have took his manhood out and his second son might not even be here! Thankful for chaps and the blade hit flat not on edge.
The whole dick cover discharge chute on the 710 I used was too thin of metal , just thin shit. Blew past me thirty feet up in tree brushed the tips of the branch I was standing on.. Incredible force in that cutter wheel to do that ,but the cover hinges and cover shouldn't dismount the machine that easy ..I wish I still had pics theyre on a simcard out of my old phone somewhere. I don't think terex makes poor product just weren't ready for a 710 to be used by me ..that day it was $400for the 750model for the day or half that$ for the 710. It was a descent sized tree ,but its all firewood no need for the big guy its only two trees scheduled for the day 710 will be perfect I thought. Wrong !
Me too . That 710 had no pull power ,no crush power , its a homeowners rental special is all. I had no business putting it on my truck, but it was so petite and nine inch sounds promising ..yeah if it was staight as a board maybe it would do nine inch .. Better be light as a 4*4 as well. Fuck that chipper. I'll take a 730 though!After what I've seen bix stuff through his!
No yoke X , just the weight of the wheel is creating the down pressure or lack of really.
