Converting log splitter to pto driven? or just buy new pto splitter

[swinny]

Considering the impending woodsure scheme I'm not massively interested in investing in firewood area etc... will see how it goes.

 

My main issue is I'm changing my tractor and dont want the new one sat about running a log splitter. Id like to use my david brown on the pto as the hyd output is pathetic. 

 

Has anyone knocked up a pump, reservoir and pipes to their original hyd splitter for a reasonable amount? my splitter is only a cheap 10T ktm but has plenty of puff for my needs

 

Just wondering on costings then time etc or whether to just get a fresh splitter. Ideally wanted to leave it outside so prefer my older ugly / less likely to be nicked splitter if you know what i mean!

 

Cheers

Gubbins off a second hand hedge cutter seems favourite but would be tempted to buy one already done if you take into account all the time involved in messing about with it.

How pathetic?

 

McConnell used to use the tractor oil for some of their smaller diggers siamesed with a pto pump, this saves the need for a separate oil tank. I explained it here over a few posts. The only real proviso is that the oil capacity of the tractor back end is big enough to supply the oil and cool it.
