Was first time I had needed low range for a while........just to get out the car park.


Bout time they put that hexi stuff in the grass. They are limited in how many events they can do by it

Noooooo :eek:




Diff lock in, Hi range, loadsa welly, get that mud flying outta the tread and all over the vehicle behind ;) :flame2: :D :D :D
 
Just a thought. Could I run a hydraulic pump off say a tipper using a second alternator and battery? I have a spare coupling point.

do you mean a 12v hydraulic tipper pack ? yes you could , but what do you want to do with it , ? if winch then would not be very quick , as its a low flow only suitable for tipping or tail lift etc . HTSH
 
Hmm. Well yeah a winch at some point and got some of those jaws that cut through pillars off mod sales ( by accident) and its awesome at cutting up to 5 inch branches with no mess. :)

Also wanted to get a splitter to take up into my woods. So guessing a faster glow one. Hmmm more research required
 
I wonder if probable to put additional belt on engine to run a pump off? Have seen a few bits online about people doing it with a chain fitment.
 
what you got on engine ? alt and PS ?

if so you could probably fab up a mount to take a hyd pump where AC would be

Could work although I'd set it up in such a way that you can disconnect it from the drive belt just so its not always driven when engine is on, i.e. like a FWH on the drive pulley for the pump

And then you'd also want controls in the cab and grill or rear of the vehicle
 
Re jaws you can get a petrolpowered pack that runs these , used in firebrigade/ mod, but they are a low flow high pressure unit , not suitable for winching . gearbox driven hyd pto is the only way really to do all the things you want . This gives you the ability to select pump speed via the throttle and gears. Unfortunately hydraulics tend to be expensive , thats why you see all the electric winches, but it is the rolls royce system JMHO .
 
Yeah I know. The winch isn't most important thing more the options for working the woods as I may be renting a few woods soon
 
Yeah saw that. There are kits out there. On another forum there was mention of a chain driven kit being made that runs direct from the engine like an auxiliary belt scenario. Trying to find out more.

So far I have found a generator with pto wheel. Could run one of those splitters that are a wheel/spike thing.
