Scrapped car Powered firewood setup

[rowan lee]

This old french boy has it down with ingenuity and an old scrapped renault.

I have often pondered the idea of using one of my old man's berlingo van's to do just this and power a pto hydraulic pump on my Thor.

Not the safest setup it has to be said, but the old fella looks quite content.

Scrap car???

 

What scrap car, he puts the wheels back on to go to the shops.

That's brilliant! The guy is very inginious. If it was in the uk then the HSE would get wind of it and shut it down no doubt.

Why? do you think he is using this commercially? Surely this is for his own private use.

 

I think you will find that the HSE doesn't give a kippers dick for what people get upto in their 'own time'
