I'm a homeowner in Jupiter FL and rented a 3632T yesterday and brought it home. Unfortunately I'm getting the blinking light at the bottom left of panel "fully lower platform into the stowed position for outrigger when flashing", and now I'm stuck as rental place is closed today / tomorrow. boom can go up and and out and left and right, but won't go down. It makes a start sound like it wants to move, but then light warning sound comes on. I tried turning off/on as well as retracting and extending outriggers, but still have the same issue. Fortunately learned how to manually lower the boom, but no way I can do this when I'm up high in the bucket. I checked to solenoid switches where the boom rests on frame and they seem OK, but not sure what else to check. Thanks if you have a suggestion, but I'm guessing it's a trip back to rental on Monday.
@travisthetreeman5 күн бұрын
Most of the time one of the switches on the outriggers, or lower boom cradle isn't registering. They often get sand in them or just wear out. This will cause them to intermittently fail. Only other issue I have had in this area is one of the wires could be rubbing on the frame and shorting out or the connection plug could be loose on any one of them.

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
@travisthetreemanАй бұрын
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

I have this same machine when the feet hit the ground they just stop and will not push up the lift to level? Like it will not level at all.

Its a common fault on these machines. Usually if you extend one foot a little and then go back to auto level it will engage. Or turn the key off and on.

It's from towing it and going fast over bumps in the road. Watch your review mirror. The stress from leveling it is so much less than watching the thing try to pop off the ball and bang all around.

Don't think its from putting down the rear legs down first...Watch in your review mirror when you are towing and go over a bump or dip in the road...A lot more forces from towing than leveling.

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.

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.

how well does the drive system work? will it drive up an incline or only flat ground?
@travisthetreeman4 ай бұрын
Smooth ground no problem up to 5% incline. Soft yards can be an issue. If we have a long haul, hills, pot holes or wet conditions we just pull it with our loader. Excessive driving will drain a 12 hour battery in 4. All that said it is great from tree to tree on a hard surface for residential work. Ill never own another without it!
