Hi there, I have a 130 tipper with the hydraulic winch and a plug in point for hydraulic tools. Couple of questions as you seem to be a lot more au fait with the technical side.

The tank for the oil is under the seat and the pump gives me 170BAR or 2500psi

I would love to have a portable splitter, is yours run with a similar flow, and if so where did you get your splitter? next question as far as to tools are concerned, Portable sawmill

in your op is there enough flow? According to the manual the pump works at 1500rpm, so I fitted a hand throttle to up the idle a little as I am sure the standard idli of the tdi is less than that, thoughts? finally a word of warning about the tipper conversion, even with heavy duty springs ie one inside the other carrying capacity is limited, plus you have to use Q rated tyres or the standards will bubble under the pressure.

thanks for you time in advance,

Mick

Mick,

 

I can't actually remember the flows and pressure of my set up, I will have a look in the tech details when I get home.

 

My splitter was made from bits of ebay and off cuts of steel out my mates scrap skip. I would think you'd have enough pressure to run a splitter of some description like I say I'll check mine later.

 

One thought whats the size of your hyd tank? how much oil does it hold? do you have an oil cooler in the system? I have no cooler but 45 litres of oil on board splitting will get the oil quite warm if you have a small oil capacity or no cooler.

 

1500rpm is quite a lot above a 300tdi tick over.

 

 

as regards a tipper conversion i have binned the the idea as i just don't need it now. as regards tyres i run BF Goodrich and they certainly don't bulge even at a little over maximum GVW.

Great looking LR, thinking of running something similar as a support unit.

Hi Matt

Its an 18ltr tank but it does have an cooler for the oil in front of the red.

don"t kill yourself finding the tech stuff, only when its convenient.

Thanks again,

Mick
