How to drive firewood processor without tractor or 3 phase power

[Stephen Blair]

Mate got a transit engine, made a frame, stuck a jerry can on for fuel on it, stuck it in reverse and job done!!!

 

Love the jeep on the wall, that's ace!!

Some vehicles like utility Land rovers from the gas board actually come with a pto underneath. Their transits have a pto to drive a compressor and generator. That way you could still drive it about the yard so its not in the way.

It was once a Nissan Terrano. All the tractors are soooo big, powerful and thirsty just to sit and drive the machinery behind so this was the solution.

Thanks for the replies. I don't have a spare car to put to use so I'm looking at a Honda GX390 coupled with a hydraulic pump and reservoir on a movable frame. I could use it to run another hydraulic machine as well. The electric power pack recommended by the supplier delivers 39ltr/min at 180 bar so I just need to find the right spec of hydraulic pump to pair with the Honda.

Talk to flowfit

Flowfit are on the case and it looks like they have a solution. Another option I came across is a Belle MAJOR 30-140 hydraulic power pack that is usually used to run a hydraulic kango hammer. It might be a little underpowered but I should be able to get one in a hire shop to try out.

Nigel Baddley at Kentdown Mushrooms is selling a PTO power pack think its electric.
