DK2 Power Chipper/Shredder 5in. OPC505AE ~ Hydraulic Oil? Reduction System Lubrication?
มุมมอง 1.4K3 ปีที่แล้ว
I'm trying to confirm some information before using it~How much Hydraulic Oil do you put in? Its not mentioned in the owners manual~& Does the clutch reduction system require separate oil or share the engine oil? Thanks!
Any luck on getting the bets at an auto parts store?
Yes I was able to find one at O'Reilly's-
@@whosthehomesteadernow9613 happen to have a part number ?/
I agree about the lack of info for sure. Learning that blade sharpness, blade-anvil gap and feed speed are critical to effective ops. Bought mine used and am watching TH-cam to get the info I want.
Did yours not come with a manual for the machine itself, only the Kohler motor. I know it's a year old video now but I'm showing it says to full the hydraulic reservoir 2/3 full with AW32 which is your pretty bog standard hydraulic oil. Either way, how's yours holding up after this amount of time?
Where’s the fix video?
Thank you! this is great. My model is the DK2 OPC566E. There is no way to decrease the belt tension. These videos helped me get the new belts on: th-cam.com/video/pfJ1feeOFm8/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/0aP9kuWG66M/w-d-xo.html

I’ve had mine for about 10-11 months and I’ve spent more time fixing it than I have chipping with it. Customer service is nearly useless. It constantly breaks down and needs belts, bolts, screws, etc. it rolled over behind my truck the second day I had it. Spent about 20 hours in fab to rebuild the entire chassis. I’d I had it to do again I’d have bought a bandit or a Vermeer. This thing just isn’t made well.
Thats What They Call 'Learning The Hard Way' The only trouble I've Had is with Jamming and thats when I burned up the belt~ I think I can improve that by being more careful about the shapes & sizes of what I'm running thru it as well as experimenting with the roller speed~ It seems very clear that Customer Service will not be able to help you very much~
Hello from Texas. Any luck with replacing the belt on the chipper? I have the DK2 Model #OPC566E
Greetings Yes. Made a Video about it: th-cam.com/video/oDZupuD2HB0/w-d-xo.html. Very Straightforward Process Once you get the right part~

What are your overall thoughts on this chippers as I'm looking at purchasing one. How's the customer service support and accessibility to get parts?
Customer Service Has Not been A big Help To Me At All Even With Basic Info About their Product~ The chipper seems well built & they were smart enough to put a Kohler engine on it, however it is sensitive to Jamming and I burned up a belt that way~Found a replacement belt at O'reilly's with some good customer service~
Low on hydrolics feed oil wasnt your problem.... does it chip?
Yes it chips…what do you know about hydraulic oil in a DK2 chipper shredder that I don’t..?
@@whosthesavagenow6379 the only thing the hydrolic oil does run feed rollers
Couldn't the hydraulic system have a "low fluid" sensor that would keep the engine from starting? After all, the engines have a "low oil" sensor that will shut it down.
Is this machine worth the money? How do you like it?
Yes if you don’t mind putting in the work-
I noticed on mine tonight they included two extra cutting knifes that are serving double duty. Pretty clever! They are located at the end of the chute installed backwards next to the flywheel and the straight edge of the knifes are used as a support ledge for the knifes on the flywheel to cut against. When the ones on the flywheel can no longer be sharpened just swap them out.
The large brass looking nut on the top of the hydraulic tank next to the fill cap is your dipstick with a O-ring. the small acorn nut on top of that is the metal dipstick rod DO NOT UNSCREW THE SMALL ONE ON TOP OF THE LARGER ONE OR THE ROD WILL FALL IN THE TANK. Just fill to the upper area of the notches on the dipstick and you should be good to go. You are correct the instructions are basically useless and with no mention of hydraulics. Also the Kohler manual you have covers all their different engines in that series so it shows a gear reduction model which is used in other equipment like concrete mixers but your machine is a straight shaft direct drive with no clutch. If you have any other questions about your machine let me know. Have a great day.
thanks! that helps a lot! I will check it out soon~I wonder why they dont feel the need to share that info in their owners manual literature~
Thank you for the info. Obviously they haven’t updated the manual yet! 2 years after you posted this. I had the exact same confusion.
