What causes drive belts to wear prematurely or jump on Wood-Mizer Farm Equipment?
If the drive belts on your Wood-Mizer Farm Equipment wear prematurely or jump, make sure the engine/motor and drive pulleys are properly aligned. See Section 7.6 for instructions on how to align the pulleys.
How to prevent blades dulling quickly on Wood-Mizer Farm Equipment?
If the blades on your Wood-Mizer Farm Equipment dull quickly, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure that you clean or debark the logs, especially on the entry side of the cut. If grinding teeth, grind just enough metal to restore sharpness and use water/coolant. Also, make sure the tip is being sharpened completely; refer to the Sharpener Manual for guidance.
