Hycrack pto shaft fitting?

[amfell]

you will need a Pinhole Yoke there are different diameter shafts ( both Inch and Metric sizes) they also increase in size due to Horsepower ratings

the fitting of a yoke is a bit of a fine art if you have not fitted one before , you can do it with a hammer and a punch, but there is always the risk of damaging the UJ cups or trapping a needle roller

as mentioned above your local AG dealer should be able to assist they should keep the oval tubing in stock to replace bent shafts

you might need advice to see if your current shaft will stand the HP of your Mog

I took the local dealer route in the end. Told them the hp of the mog and will leave them to decide what I need. Although I have used the small shaft on the mog on a home made frame, I'm not sure it's really up to it long term. I'll keep the small shaft to run on the tractor, although I think I'll be selling it soon as I have very limited use for it. It's got a tidy little under belly mower so will bung it on ebay in the spring when the grass is growing and plenty of kit will have died over winter!

 

Having tried the Hycrack on some ash that I have here I've decided it's easier to use the axe on good wood! I can do it just as quickly by hand and won't have to pay for diesel. I'll save the splitter for the pile of axe resistant logs that I always seem to accumulate!

 

How good are the smaller hydraulic splitters? I don't suppose I can go too big due to the flow rate of my pump. Pretty sure it's about 45lpm.
