telehandler with pto ?

[the crafty weasel]

I have no idea about the flow rates and pressures that handlers deliver so ignore me if this is way off the mark- how about fitting a hydraulic motor to your sawbench/splitter and making up an adaptor plate to hold the bench on the boom linkage? that way you could drop the sawbench off and use pallet forks etc pretty easily.

IMO of using our manitou with hydraulic attachments on there wouldn't be enough flow to produce enough power at a decent speed for a saw bench! Don't quote but i think there's only about 50-60litres/min at the front of the telehandler. Enough to run a good size ram, but hydraulic motors though we do use them on things do struggle to get enough power and speed!

would a tractor and loader not do all that you ask?

My neighbour has this telehandler and when I followed him down the road I spotted a splitter on the back. Any use to you for an idea?

you will find that you will want to use the telehandler to handle the logs and the saw bench will get in the way and you do not need a pto for the spliter unless it a screw one. it will be cheeper to buy a old tractor and a telehandler, as you got more choose of handlers.

 

Most hydraulic splitters are PTO driven.

That's only because your average 35x or whatever doesn't have the flow rate to drive a big ram. A telehandler certainly would, so it's not likely to be a problem.

 

Personally, I'd get a good loader tractor. The money you'd spent on a half decent telehandler even without PTO would get you a cracking 120ish HP loader tractor.

I think you might find this is a pick up hitch not a splitter.

Yes but the OP wants to be able to load an arctic, for that you need at least 14' reach hight, so that means a telehandler.

That was my first thought but it is indeed a splitter

Nope it's a splitter home made and bolted on.
