I didn't want to hijack the thread on the home made splitter that is going now, so I'll start this new one.
Nike talked there about converting a splitter to 3-point hitch use when an engine would get tired.
What is involved in that? Specifically, how do you connect the PTO to the hydraulic pump? What RPM do you set on the tractor tachometer?
I'm also interested in putting an old chipper on the 3-point hitch. It is an old, old upright Troybilt, a pretty strong piece of original Troybilt. The chipper engine is still fine, but I have been pondering putting the chipper on the tractor. Then I get lost in RPM. I don't know how fast the chipper engine turns, nor do I know how to get the chipper pulley driven by the PTO. I wouldn't want to run the chipper at too high an RPM.
I have a Kubota B2710. I set the engine on 2560 RPM to drive the Brush Bull, but I realize I don't know the RPM at the PTO.
