land rover pto

[Justme]

my dad had it from new in 81 used to run a topper its only 28000 miles

 

 

Yes but most of them in first gear low ratio & a high RPM to run the topper. Prob like 150000 or more miles in top gear

hi,a friend of mine has for sale a wessex(jenson)518 pto chipper on a home built unbraked trailer. the chipper has its own hyd rollers and only needs a12v electric supply .chipper works ok used it the other day.it does not have any anti strees system fitted but its not a major problem.

i keep playing with the idea of fitting a pto driven chipper into the back of a 110, chipping into a trailer giving you (with a tonne weight unladen trailer) a possible chip capacity of 2.5tonnes, the area around the chipper could be built into enough handy tool lockers to carry a lot of essential kit. landrover dealer tell me the pto for the 2.4 engine isnt signed off yet so cannot be used yet but im pretty sure a 200tdi would be well up to the task..

A 200 TDI would easily be up to the job, but it was the gearbox (layshaft) bearings that took the punishment on the series motors. They were fine for the periodic use of a winch PTO or a hydraulic pump but simply weren't built for the constant use and the thrashing that a chipper delivers.

just out of intrest do any of the newer modles have pto or is it just series thing?

have a look at the back of the transfer box on any landy, if its got a circular blanking plate bolted on then you can fit (easily) a power take off unit, however if you can find any units available please let me know.. i think the utility spec ones have a genny fitted to make electrickery..
