BX25 Mid PTO Pump or BUST

[Artisan]

I was the first to do it if I remember correctly. Yep, 10' of anchor, 5- 25'
long sections and a 2' leader in my 2001 machine. Fits well, spanks Groplitz machines all to heck.

I have been able to save many a sewer where others have failed. Then again,
so many guys always try to upsell to a replacement instantly and it is wrong.
Sure, if it is breeched by roots it "Should" be replaced but some folks do not
have that cash...

PS, I am temporarly sidelined HERE.\

Plus my Kneesells is back. Two right knee
surgeries over 10 years and 6 moths after the
last I am limpin' again. Need to slow down a tad
and hope it heals.

Now we don't have much choice... passed a new law that requires sewer inspection at sale and most fail... like 90% in my city because they are old... lots of companies getting into the business now...

Did a trench less last year to replace a 60 year orange-burg line... the original line was about 300' Had to be rooted about every 3-4 months or it was hopeless.

I was looking at a mid-pto pump one of the vendors was developing... can't seem to find it now.

Not sure if you are ref to us, we been having great fun with our Mid PTO pump for 4 years now. It works great, great flow at 2200RPM. 2 stage 22GPM.
Would recommend sizing up the pulley on the Pump to a 3 1/2".

Awesome!

Wheres the tank?

Does all that steel hold in heat?

Post up more pics! Very cool!

We can run this all day, hydraulic nice & cool. We had it chain drive before, which was creating some heat.
Tank is bolted to the top of the Rop, works for us, but not for everybody...

You guys are awesome... Nice!

 

[ultrarunner]

Yes... this is the setup I remember!!!

 

[bird1968]

Two guys can run this setup, with the hyd lift in the back, Wood spliting & saw blade.
The wood goes away fast.
