PTO chipper WoodMaxx new MX-9900

[Glrret]

one last thing, does it seem to make a difference only having one infeed roller system

I have had not any problems with the feed with the single feed roller.

Thanks, I ordered it yesterday, cant wait to try it out, thanks again for all the fed back should be a great investment

The Woodmax arrived properly crated without damage.

Shortened the PTO and went to work... I was not there but got a call saying the L3800 seat presence wouldn't let the PTO be engaged unless the operator was in the seat...

Not sure what the work around is other than to by-pass the switch but the tractor is used by employees at times...

Put a bag of sand in the seat

I put a nylon zip tie around the safety mechanism that is under the seat. Mine was a nylon spring loaded lever. Easy to fix like this. Easy to remove, too.

Try flipping the seat up, then turning on the PTO. That let's the PTO work without someone in the seat on our L3830.

I did ask if the seat was flipped and it wasn't

This is going to sound sad but 3 hands were on the payroll and they took turns sitting in the seat so the other two could work.

I've found there is no substitute for being there...

I did that on my L3200 (same machine as the L3800) so I could stand & see the ends of my pallet forks. Trivial to undo if needed, occasionally would pop off on its own.

I think flipping the seat up would let it run stationary with the PTO engaged, but I never had reason to test that.

I will get feedback soon.

So far the chipper itself has worked well... no complaints and having a Christmas Tree farm there will always be smaller stuff to chip.
