[@SotTreeService]

thanks for the video. I just got one of these. and its kinda scary. lol. I've had a disc for a year but this chipper is awesome. but I have one question where are the geese fitting. I've found 2. for the drum barrings. where are the rest

[@travisthetreeman]

There should be a chart on the side of the machine. It's a black label with corresponding numbers and each grease fitting's location. The number tells you the hour count that the bearing should be greased.

@@travisthetreeman this machine has no markings.

[@travisthetreeman]

@@SotTreeService it’s called a decal lubrication chart. Vermeer part number is 700ID494. If you call the dealer with your Vin number, they should be able to order you the decal for around 10 bucks and then you can just stick it on the machine so your guys know, how much grease to put in each bearing per the intervals. Hope that helps.

@@travisthetreeman thank you sir

Just wondering if you had any idea what the shear bar is supposed look like when new I can’t find a picture of one that matches mine online it’s got the two hills on it but the only ones I can find are mostly flat any information would greatly appreciated

[@travisthetreeman]

Here's a link to a site that carried "anvils" (shear bars) for most chippers. Your dealer should be able to print you an image of yours if you take the last 5 of your serial number. Most of them are flat with a 30 degree angle on all 4 sides like the one on this site. Hope that helps: www.baileysonline.com/knife-source-17-1-4-x-3-1-2-x-1-bed-knife-anvil-for-vermeer-replaces-153345001.html

Don't change the bolts each time, its a total scam from Vermeer, i have a chipper too .then onlt time tou reallt need to changd the bolts is when they start to stretch, usually about 6 uses. New bolts every time is a waste of money.

[@travisthetreeman]

Totally understand, but we try to stay with manufacturer recommendations for video purposes. Alot of guys push it too far and regret it with they snap a bolt. $40 buys a lot of peace of mind.
