Chipper PTO shaft slip clutch for Jinma chipper?

[MadDogDriver]

I got a Jinma chipper and am setting it up, of course the PTO saft that came with it is too short, so I went to TSC to get a longer one, I saw one with a slip clutch and thought it was a good idea? So I bought it! But I need to trim it a little and thought I would make sure it was a good idea, before I cut it?

So what do you think?

Bob,

When i first hooked up my Jinma to my NH TC40DA I thought I might have a similar problem that you had.

The two adjustable bars that hold the lower 3ph pins on the chipper would hit a bolt head when trying to push the bars back far enough for the PTO shafts to have enough overlap. I should've taken the bars off and placed several extra washers at each of the bolts to act as spacers to clear the offending bolt head, but because I was in a hurry I just pried the bar back a little to clear the bolt head and pushed the adjustable mounting bars fully back.

Fixed the PTO shaft distance problem.





You may have already tried this and still needed the extra distance, but if not then you may have yourself an extra slip clutch available for other uses.

MadDogDriver, I think that will/ should work with no problems.

I had a customer cut the plates about a 1/2 inch from the slot so he could hook up to a Kubota, don't remember the model??

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies! I have been busy and only saw the first post when I made my decision. Here is what I did. I have pats' easy change which moves everything out 3.5 inches, moving the pins on the chipper was not enough. TSC is over an hour away so I didn't want to change the shaft and had chipping to do. So I trimmed the new shaft and trimmed the guard on the chipper to fit, took about 20 min, it might be over kill but maybe some day I will be glad I did it, I couldn't see driving over one hour each way to save $35.00. and loose half a day of work.

As far as the chipper, it is a chipping machine! well worth the money! perhaps the feed roller drive is not as stout as it could be, but a replacement is about $20, and it will last a very long time! If I was using it 24/7 a vermier woud be better, but at a much higher cost! I did do the set screws on the drive rollers and changed the zerks. One was broken off.

Great value!
