Hydraulic pump fit to D22 pickup

[edbol]

Has anyone fitted a belt drive hydraulic pump to their truck?

 

We have a log splitter. Thinking about mounting it ti my pickup, using the engine to run the pump.

 

Possible?

Unless there is a proper kit available, I think the problem you'll face if you mounted a belt driven pump onto your engine is unless you can disengage said pump you'll potentially overspeed it driving down the road. If you can get a pump with an electric clutch built in,  you could then have it disengaged for road driving.

 

If you know the speed the pump needs to run at, with a tacho, some tip-ex, thought and a pen and paper you could work out what RPM the engine needs to be running at.

 

Probably easier to run a donkey Honda engine with a hydraulic pump fitted though!

I haven't done it but remembered it had been discussed here before....

I think these people did something....
Attached link is for a transit but does have the electric clutch you'll need.....whether it has the flow/pressure ??
Flowfit probably have a tech dept you can ask...?

Jeeeez. I'll just buy a power pack and not bother! Was a nice idea though!

On a similar vein....I had a mate convert his Aircon Pump into an Air compressor.

For offroading when tyres needed letting down/pumping up.

It’s a lot cheaper to run a power pack you will need clutch (electric) spool block,couplings, pressure gauge,tank maybe oil cooler, and it will not do your engine any good to keep running just above idle for long periods.
