Hydraulic Engineers ?


Recommended Posts


Electric hydraulic is going to be an expensive project for a self build.

I'm sure a cheap log splitter from machine mart would be ample if you limited the amount of apples you put through it.

 

To run a 10 plus ton ram your going to need a min 3.5 hp motor.

 

Have you priced some of this gear up? Few hundred for a motor and wiring. Similar for the steelwork. 300 ish for a hyd pump. Extra for pipe work. Hyd tank and oil. Shit loads of miscellaneous stuff that you overlook and decide you need.

 

Sounds interesting though.
