Hydraulic taps on a tranny??!!

[Acg128]

Obviously you get some landys with hydraulic taps fitted can you get them fitted to a transit to run a log splitter?? Cheers

Yes at great expense. Complete waste of time and white diesel. For the amount of power they would provide, buy a 7 ton electric splitter.

this would be a cheaper and easier option

Had a better idea of just getting taps fitted to the pump on the chipper.. Run a splitter off that.

Where did you get an idea like that?

We had a burst hose on my pals chipper today took it into a plant hire/service place and I asked about taps being fitted to the transit then I thought what about the chipper and they said everything is there you need £60 and were fit taps for you.. You seem to know a bit Andy he mentioned about bypassing something so if you hit a knot there would be no pressure on the chipper hydraulic pump? It's a kohler 25hp engine on the chipper I just have got to find a splitter that will run off it can you point me in the right direction? Cheers bud

By passing things is not generally a good idea unless you know exactly what you are doing. Its not quite a simple as fitting taps, indeed they are called valves not taps and 60 quid isn't going to cover it.

 

What's the make and model of the chipper?

[Acg128]

I thought the same i cant remember the exact reaoning or where it would be done, It's a vermeer 620/625ai?! The older one that came with wheels underneath rather than to the side.

[Acg128]

Not the best picture..

That's a 620i and from memory that's not good news. The pump and valve are an integrated unit, I have one in bits at the back of the workshop, I will have a look tomorrow and get back to you.
