The manual states to find the midpoint and then measure deflection. It should deflect 3/8" with 8-10lbs of force, if I'm remembering correctly. Seems like a fish scale would work so maybe I should get one and then I'd know I'm dead on. Obviously, as stated in the manual, to loose cooks the...

Yah I hear ya, I think they must have been out of their prime for sure but I imagine they'd have lasted a fair bit longer if the auto-feed hadn't failed to stop the infeed. I hope I'm not starting a new thread about auto-feed tomorrow.

Cool. Yah even with a mini-skid you can really punish the chipper at times.

So the belts should last somewhat indefinetly if properly adjusted and you don't drive he disc/drum to a halt under full load?

Yup I put all new ones on and because I live in Canada I also ordered a spare set with the replacements so if something happens again I won't have to wait even a day for parts. I've adjusted the new ones pretty tight to start as I expect they'll stretch a bit in the 1st hour or so of running...

They are five individual belts a 1000vx belt or something I believe without running out to check . The disc may have stopped, I mean I've never had any issue with the belts before this. I'm hoping that I don't have an auto-feed issue which would cause this to happen again. It was ugly and...

Around 1000, just under 1000 I think. I'm a fanatic about not running it when it's not working, so I've done well so far keeping the hours down I think. I've had it since new and snug the belts up periodically, more at first when they were breaking in but still a bit now and then but I just do...

Ok, I had an issue yesterday were I tore up two of the five belts on my 250xp as well as glazed the remaining three up pretty good. What happened was the auto-feed didn't cycle/work and the chipper just crammed itself and drove it down to probably close to 1000rpm(from 2400 normal max running)...
