Does anyone have suggestions on where I can get a TMF Tech LS2150 drum mulcher balanced in the Mid Atlantic area?

All I can think of is are you missing any cutters on the drum or are the bearings in good order.
Is this a Lamtrac machine?
Sorry I can't recommend a shop that would balance something that big, but there's got to be one somewhere. That's a expensive, primary component of an expensive machine that's not a disposable part!
Have you looked for a dealer?

It is a TMF Tech, who makes Lamtrac. I have not been able to find any dealers on the east coast. Is there a way to balance without the $4k computer device?

There is nothing as obvious as missing hammers. I tried taking all the hammers off but there is still a vibration. I did check the bearings as recommended in the manual (placing a long prybar under each side of the drum and lifting looking for any slop, and none).

Stihl or John Deere might have connections for mulcher balancing

Any of the big brand dealers might be able to direct you to a service. Good luck, that's a frustrating problem.

Diamond mower or Fecon dealers might have a source for balancing that drum.

Does anyone have a suggestion where I can get a balancer to do it myself? I see the Fecon FMB200, but it is $5000. I am not having any luck finding someone nearby that does balancing. The local Fecon dealer said they only do Fecon and have a terrible time doing it.

Is there a method to balancing it without the computerized device?
