I got both to run, one was complete enough to drive. My plan is to use the controls from the mower. Each reel had its own spool with forward and reverse. I think I can use one the dump and one for the lift. The third may a remote for a log splitter.
|
If you build a log splitter, please start a new thread. I'd be all over that project.
|
That will be down the road. Don't really need one, but why not.
|
Why not, indeed. I've thought of a similar project, using a spare 120VAC power pack I have. I think it's good for about 12 tons, which should be adequate. The part I haven't figured out is the controls, because they're quite expensive to buy new. I'd either need some strong springs to retract the cylinder, or a dual-action valve.
|
www.surpluscenter.com has lots of stuff. Still expensive. We visit the farm and steal parts off of old machinery.
|
That's what I need to learn how to do, and why I'm so interested in your hydraulic projects.

Kato is right in getting all you can from a farm boneyard. Valves, fittings, hoses, pumps, and motors are mucho, mucho expensive. From what I read about your plans for a log splitter, is the cylinder single or double acting? That would determine the type of control valve. All of our hydraulic power packs are capable of 5 to 10gpm at 2000psi with 20hp gas or diesel engines. We make an electric one but it it requires 240/480v 3ph to run. I'm done hi-jacking this thread.:) |

I'm familiar with hydraulics in terms of rebuilding cylinders and control valves at work, but not in the design of systems. I have a 120VAC power pack that is capable of about 12 tons, and I think it would split smaller logs, particularly soft woods. I'd prefer double-acting, and I looked at a control at Princess Auto that I think would do the trick. Like this one: http://princessauto.com/en/detail/di...ff/A-p8382665e They're not giving them away. I don't want to use hydraulic power to overcome a return spring, hence my preference for double-acting. What I haven't yet learned is how to calculate the correct cylinder for my application, with perhaps an 18" stroke. Much research to do... |
I have a piece a paper that says I is edumacated in hydraulic systems. So I is able to hepl.;) |
I'll pull the specs off it and get back to you.
|
Weld, I don't know what I am doing. We just put stuff together.
