There is a guy who has added rubber paddles cut from a used snowblower paddle to close the gap between the impeller blades and the housing. Search youtube for 'Make Wood Chipper Throw 2x as far and never clog' and see how much better it works.

I also have experienced problems with Jima clogging when I am running a lot of small branches with leaves and may go this route.

[QUOTE=4kubota;77935] Thanks Kwschumm that is the kind of info I am looking for. I've read all your info and seen your pictures nice outfitt. I have 20 acres of woods and am always cutting and cleaning. I can burn with no problems but I am not a wasteful person if ya know what I mean. I have mostly pines and oaks. The nearest I've found the Jinma chipper is in S.Indiana $1500 about 11hr drive. No one around NW Florida sells them.If anyone knows closer source let me know. Please post when you have yours chipping. [/QUOTE]
I purchased mine in NC, it's not a Jinna but very similar for $1600.00. I have worked it a lot and it has more than paid for itself if I had to rent one.

I have a PTO driven WC8 Wood Chipper manufactured in China that will turn 4 inch logs with branches into wood mulch as fast I can load branches.
The issues I have had to date were having to re-engineer a couple parts on my shaft driven roller feed such as adding a set screw to the hub to keep it from falling of the roller when handling bigger branches,
The discharge will clog and stall the tractor if you run a lot of little branches with green leaves. If you chipping 4 inch branches the wood chips should keep the discharge clean and it only takes a couple minutes to remove the discharge tube and clear the clog.
If you search alibaba.com you can order one for a very reasonable price. I have 12 acres we are clearing of hardwoods and this machine has paid for itself.

I recently purchased a new Chinese PTO powered wood chipper that will handle 8 inch thick logs for $1500.00. I figured since it didn't have a motor I could handle any bearing or parts issues myself.
That is half the price of a Woods chipper and it does the same job. I have to babysit the feeder mechanism a bit more but I think it works pretty good for what I paid.
I understand about the helping the local economy but the most local economy is my economy and I just couldn't justify the extra money.
When I bought my first riding mower it was a John Deere from the JD store, not Home Depot. After a while I had a hard time justifying the extra $1000 I had spent since it used the same motor as the one sold at HD. That $1K was near and dear to me in those days. Now I look at what my needs are make my purchase based on that decision. I could have bought a ROK manufactured tractor and saved money but I bought my Massey Ferguson because I felt it had a better dealer network and part availability which provide better reliability to me in the long run. Nothing like not being able to get parts for a broken piece of equipment.

There should be another clutch between the gearbox and the output shaft. Mine is electric, you may have a failed fuse.

When I got my new to me Model 1648 tractor the joystick only allowed movement in one direction at a time. Then it made a little tick sound and the joystick got sloppy, I don't feel the indents and when I lower the bucket I have to pull the joystick back to center or it will drift down and lift the front wheels.<br>
<br>
I looked at the parts diagram and didn't see an obvious gate or spring assembly.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have experience with the joystick assembly?<br>
