PTO pump group 2 or 3

[Justme]

Much smaller crane but I uses a group 2 pump & gearbox on my processor mounted crane.

 

That replaced an donkey engine pump that it came with.

 

I went for the higher geared so larger flow gearbox to just exceed the LPM flow of the original set up.

 

If anything I need a flow restrictor when running at 540 PTO as the controls can be a little sensitive & full open far to fast.

 

Its done less than 50 hours so far so cant comment on longevity yet but the cost was so low I am not to worried.

That should last ... I recon I’m hitting in the woods on full lock when I should be climbing out the cab and unlocking the steering draw bar!

My crane runs off the tractor Matty,similar sized crane to yours and same sized tractor.

 

Its pretty fast and powerful

 

 

Same with mine, pressure relief blows off so it must be making pressure.

Has it eaten the gears inside? If it's only bearings and seals it can be repaired quite cheaply, did 1 for the delimber last year for about £35
