PTO Saw bench advice

[combiunit]

Yes the saw bench still works fine without it wired in but no idea how you would wire it into the tractor

We have two of the riko saw benches within our business both electric.The one is now over seven years old and cut a lot of timber still looks good and works perfectly very pleased with them both.

Sounds like a good endorsement for them, thanks.

 

I thought there would have been more people with saw benches on here than have replied so far

We bought an Oxdale one the other week and it's very good. Simple to use and runs on a compact tractor. For emergency stop there's a lever that disengages the drive to the blade that's to hand just incase.

I would say as far as the emergency stop button is concerned, wire it to the fuel cut off solenoid if your tractor doesn't have an ipto switch, it really isn't ideal but its there. If you are going to run it on a same or an international with pull to stop then you would have to discuss an alternative mechanical device with the manufacturer, I'm willing to wager a company like ryetec would make you a bespoke machine, it may cost more, but it would be worth it.

Our experience of mark at rytech is anything you need he will try and accommodate you. Hes a top guy with two realy good fitters.

I've got a Riko saw bench now.

 

Went to try and use it for the first time and I can't have the bench on the tractor linkage with the PTO shaft connected as it's too long. And can't have it free standing as it'll flip the bench.

 

Obviously going to ring Riko in the morning to see if I can swap for a much shorter shaft.

 

Don't want to sound daft but I'm not doing something wrong am I? Here's a pic to show what I mean. The PTO shaft is just propped there and it's as short as it'll go...

Probably just need to take a hacksaw to it. Both my splitter and processor needed their shafts cutting down.

Pull it in to 2 and bring out the hack saw!!!
