Shouldn't the auto feed back the wood off the knives an inch so they don't burn up? Looks like a little puff of smoke at 2.14 from that.

I'm pretty sure that's water vapor, but I can't swear to it. The reverse time was set for half a second.

Oh ok I thought I heard the wood on the knives while the auto feed was pausing, not sure.

Ah, 2:14 is the top of the pine... yeah, that's the knives hitting the butt as I'm working the feed bar to fold some limbs. At 1:45 it blew some vapor dragging the knives trying to get something in. If I think of it, I'll chip another similar tree, then shut it down and check the temperature of the knives.

Watching (and listing to) the video, I know it's not reversing in the video. I know the controller has a reverse function but one of the things the 720 is a manual control valve unlike the rest of the lineup with an electric valve and reversing autofeed. I'll have to check.

ETA, before I hit send. I checked the schematic and the 720 doesn't appear to have the plumbing to have reversing autofeed. I stand corrected!

Hey Carl, I'm still waiting for the 538 Stumper video..... :-)

 

[lumberjack]

I don't have one to video with, yet!

 

[emr]

I thought you were picking one up at the factory?

 

[lumberjack]

Maybe in a couple weeks.

Still have these available! For the money it's tough to beat!
