making a pto power pack

[carpenter1]

how and what do i need to make a pto power pack. so that a 35 can power the hydraulic splitter from the pto

 

what pto pump do i need for a splitter. (i will find splitter requirments)

a oil tank

pipes

 

anything else?

 

and how

 

thanks

Speak to the pump supplier about the pump when you have the ram specification

 

Make sure the tank is big enough, more oil will take longer to warm up

 

You can get all the bits from flowfit

What is a splitter made of!

 

Ram

Pipes

Reservoir

 

Pump

Control spool valve c/w relief valve

Hydraulic return filter

Steel work to make a substantial

chassis

 

 

The oil performance will deteriorate as the oil gets hotter so a large tank will help to allow the oil to cool before retuning into the cycle

 

Pump type will depend on ram size, how strong you wNt it to be (10 ton, 20 ton) how fast you require the cycle speed to be.

 

 

 

 

Is it a chipper, is it a mower or another broken stump grinder who cares we'll fix it!

how much power is available at the pto on the 35, and at what pto rpm, your pump will need a method of ataching it to the pto, and probably gearing it up, pump size?, flow = speed of ram movement, psi = power of "push", have a google at "diy hydraulic log splitter kits" see what comes up

That's the easy bit:thumbup1:

 

 

Then one of these if you don't have something you can use

 

Add a bit of steel and some pipework, and in the time tested tradition of agricultural engineering, kick it all in a pile and weld it where it touches.

I use a jcb beaver pack, it then frees the tractor up to load wood, with long pipes you are away from the noise, it keeps the hours down on tractor, it uses an egg cup of fuel.

However having the splitter tractor mounted makes for good stability, especially necessary if splitting larger chunks.

And second make the splitter easier moved positioned to where the wood is.

And if using a PTO stub shaft hyd pump, the tractor is only at Tickover revs.

AND

Most important, IF you want to build a FAST splitter, the MF35 will NEED all its limited HP to drive the pump.

Since my 17tonne (being the forerunner to Woodworks later purchased 18tonner) CAN strangle the nominal 84HP DB, running on the 1000 shaft when running at 1050/1150 engine revs (gives about 540 shaft speed)

So simples use the tractor.

You will need it.

Especially if you add a wee 1000kg winch to drag &lift the logs/trunks/butts in to be split.

Oh, if building your own splitter, copy the neat oil resovoir design used across all the professional built models.

Fabricate a heavy wall rectuangular section to both carry the sliding splitter head.

And store the oil.

I think you will find that with a 35 you will need revs up higher than tickover, unless you have a low tonnage ram and are splitting lovely straight grain logs. As you will know something like an 11 tonne ram on a 35 will be painfully slow as the oil flow on this tractor will be only 18l/min producing 2500psi and that is at standard PTO speed 540rpm. Avoid going over about 14 tonne on a 35, you dont need it. The revs need to be up with a lot of these external pumps as there will be internal pump issues as posted on a previous thread.

As Trequip states - talk to the experts and cooling is king especially on hot summer days. Interfluid over at Gunnislake are a decent bunch also. Good luck.

Eh!

If using a PTO hyd pump

what da heck has the tractors hyd oil flow got to do with it?

cheers

And, cough cough. As far as I am aware one can drive a hyd pump geared to/for a tractor PTO from anywhere between 350 and 550.(being PTO revs btw)

seriously.

Just get hold of an old hedge trimmer like mine.
