    Thanks for the advice. The longer you live the sooner you realise that it pays to go to an expert. I shall look of the option of a multipower pump but most likely go to a specialist Hydraulic company who is able to guarantee everything matches and I end up with a robust system which will give longevity. Need to have pto speed constant at 480rpm as I plan to run processor in tandem off same tractor. Going to be interesting what the Hyd company advise for controlling the flow rate to the splitter. Will post their reply after I phone tomorrow.

    We have same saw, same symptoms. Just noticed inlet manifold from carb not correctly aligned with flange on barrell after re-assembling and the snap clip can be tricky to close.

    What is involved in retrofitting the exchange parts?
  4. arboriculturist
    Thanks for the link

    Thanks for crunching the numbers. Sounds like a dedicated external pump may be most cost affective and with variable flow control can run a range of splitters which we have.
  6. arboriculturist
    That is accurate - thanks
  7. arboriculturist
    Ok thanks
  8. arboriculturist
    Ah ok, though internal pumps were fairly robust, but fair comment. An external pump will require a resovoir of course, no big deal of course.
  9. arboriculturist
    Sounds much better than 4 gallons per min, may be fairly costly though? Thanks for replying.

    Using the 35X to power splitter to break down the large rings.
  11. arboriculturist
    Wow - that low! That said anyone care to comment on the feasability of the cycle time of a Price Fallows splitter 12Tonne I think linked up to the 35X? Or more importantly the flow rate to give a sensible cycle time? What is sensible!
  12. arboriculturist
    3-6" fine if not like the tops of Japanese Larch! Looking forward to seeing on site.

    You did not have to think about that for 2 long - that is experience for you I expect! Arrives here, 3 bays on lorry, roundwood cut @ 2.8 metres. It seems that there are differing views on the conversion ratio from roundwood to processed, but having had as much timber through your hands as you have, I won't argue.

    Anyone out there know the flow rate l/min of the standard hydraulic auxillary circuit on the back of a MF 35X generally used to tip trailers. Appreciated.

    Apologies for repeating the same words twice - long day on the admin is starting to take its toll!

    The average 8 wheeler of hardwood delivered in to us on an 8 wheeler weighs 17 Tonnes. Would anyone care to comment on how many m3 of 10"/200mm split logs a load will process into?
  17. arboriculturist
    Great ideal, but nothing of that capacity round here.
  18. arboriculturist
    Fair comment - selling it unprocessed to someone who can accomadate large ugly limb unions etc, on their woodburner, but the uniform clean timber we have is too good not to process. We have Proccessor and tractor splitter, just trying to glean any tricks of the trade on the most efficient way to process the clean rings.

    By 'efficient' I mean - easiest and fastest way to process large rings into log form , which we cut at 10"/200mm thickness.
  21. arboriculturist
    Hoping someone on the forum knows far more than I do on the most efficient way to process ARB waste! With mountains of huge diameter rings that wont go through the processor looking for options here.
  22. arboriculturist
    Great feedback thanks. I am running the Processor and also will be the splitter of A Massey F. 35x. An engineer mentioned that the 35x should have adequate flow to run most splitters but this does not seem the case with my 35 - 12 second splitting cycle. He is going to try a flow meter on the 35 tomorrow. Any ideas on the 35 running the 20 tonne splitting ram appreciated?
  23. arboriculturist
    Thanks for replying. Buying a bigger tractor - I agree a good idea, however going down the route of the external pump with male output shaft to run processor the same time as splitter. Needs additional external oil resevoir though, oil would boil in minutes without it!
  24. arboriculturist
    If you process Arb waste, you quickly learn you need a dedicated splitter to run alongside your processor - 5 ft rings won't fit in our Processor! Thanks for the reply.
