running processor off hydraulic power pack?

[chapel gate]

hello all.

 

recently got a second hand palax 35 ergo.

 

are these the thoughts of a mad man or is there any chance that a jcb beaver or the like would run the processor through a pto gear pump?

 

cheers

I looked up the specs of the Palax 35 it needs 35lpm the jcb beaver only produces 20 but they make a multiflow one that produce up to 40lpm, so it may be possible to connect straight in to the palax with that but then you would need to isolate the pto pump and tank and have all the oil coming and going back to the powerpack, then would the power pack have a big enough tank to allow for the displacement of the cylinders?

It gets complicated and expensive it it doesn't work.

Hi mate buy small tractor mate thanks Jon

Personally I think you would be on a losing battle.

Its 50% under powered but also the oil quantity means it would run hot and very inefficient as it wouldn't get chance to cool before being recirculated.

 

Your better off building a self build powerpack using a secondhand gx390 and 18gpm pump or similar spec.

hmm, expensive and complicated are not for me... cheers mate.

 

we have an old zeta, but space is tight round there and would like to free up the tractor.

 

suppose what im after is a pto power pack. small, self contained and can be pushed around on wheels. not sure how to get there at the moment though.

Well the easiest is an old small tractor, but if you wanted to make a pto power pack then how about something like an old car or van rear wheel drive engine and box, needs to be diesel with simple electrics, mount it on a trolley you can push about, weld a pto spline onto the gearbox output shaft and have a couple of arms to secure it to the processor, stick it in the gear that will give you 540rpm and away you go

thanks for the replys chaps. gives me some ideas to work with.
