hey im in the process of getting a truck built and its gonna be dont laugh mitsubushi fuso 7.5t, the reason for this is the the high pay load the main question is that im gona put a grab arm on it and want to mount a chipper on the body witch should be powered by the hydraulics from the crane r some sort of pto system on the engine, anybody seen anything like this before, r got any ideas that would help with choice of chipper. my goal is to combine the thing so i can feed the chipper with said crane and then lift logs with crane and not to need a trailer if this lot makes any sense to anyone then please help r some pics of other trucks would be handy many thanks damian

you could easily put a pto and shaft on the back of the gearbox, but would smash your gearbox to pieces after 300 hours use. Hydraulic chipper is doable but again to get the required hp through your hydraulics the engine will be revving its tits off and its not designed to run at high revs stationary. 3 years ago when I started up I had plans to do exactly same thing with a defender and I purchased all the required hydraulic and mechanical parts .......................................... I then sold them all on ebay and bought one of those unimog things :thumbup1:
