  1. Hi all been googling for days and need some help. I'm running a Posch 350s firewood processor by PTO currently . The machine does have the capacity to run on 3 phase. I have had a price off Jasp Wilson for £2.5k for a DIY kit . Unfortunately not made of money!!! Seems like a minefield out there in the world of 3 phase motors. I'm in the Midlands can anyone help or point me in the right direction. Thanks.

     

    What do you mean by: "The machine does have the capacity to run on 3 phase"?

     

    If the machine already has provision for a motor, i.e a gear box fitted, then all you need as a suitably sized motor, circa 20kw i'd guess.

     

    Otherwise you'll need an electric motor, gear box (engine runs opposite way to pto) and possibly an alternator, if you need 12v for magic eyes, cooling fan etc.

    Weld it all together, job done.

  2. Disappointed,was waiting for a demo .

     

    On the subject of diggers got a call at 7am asking for help dig a footing out That I priced up , I was to expensive so he dug it by hand and building inspector told him it was not deep enough and he now wants me to dig him out of trouble . I hung up .

     

    Ste

     

    :lol:

     

    I had a similar scenario, but the guy hired a digger instead as i was too expensive.

    He dug himself into a corner, and then phoned me up to go help.

     

    Iam on my way sir.............:thumbup:

  3. I've got a 6.7m KTS (Ryetec) and am very pleased with it. It is really strong, and certainly fast enough for arb. Not sure if it might be a bit slow for pure forestry, but it's very powerful and really well put together. It could do with a bigger grab though - it's not up to gripping 2 tonne plus oak butts (even though the crane will lift them).

     

    I have just replaced the grab with a Oniar G23 and its made a huge difference to the crane.

    I also fitted a slightly more powerful rotator.

     

    Oniar cranes would be worth a look also, Riko are the agents

  4. Looking at cranes to mount on my Botex trailer. 3point linkage to maybe use on a chipper and want good lifting force. At the moment I'm favouring the ryetec 6.7m crane lifts 2.2 ton close in, fold down legs and joystick controls. Where as the Botex 360 crane 6m reach lifts 1.2 ton close in, hydraulic sleeve legs with a spool 6 lever block.

    Any one have any experience with these cranes and any others out there...

    Cheers

    I have a 6.7m KTS crane, supplied by Ryetec.

    It is a powerful crane, no doubt about it, she has lifted some searious butts, but i find mine painfully slow.

    That said, my tractor pumps out 80lpm, but the valve block is only 60lpm, so this could be part of the problem.

  5. I don't have that processor, but I'm guessing that the measurements on the yellow scale in pic 2 are 50mm increments, and the diameter of the hole for the stop is 10mm.

     

    So if I'm right it's 10-12 rings to the inch.

     

    Yeah 50mm increments.
