Should be roughly
Estimates
$300 for tank set up
Cooler $450
Filter $50
Hydraulic lines and fittings.
Maybe $400 not sure
The price of pump when I figure one out?
Build my own brackets the way I like.
I assume that is all I need. If I could ever find the right pump I’d be in business.
Or could order one of the prefabbed kits but they are priced at $4500-$6500

I just need the pump.

I didn't realized you were building your own kit. Don't forget the Pressure relief valve. You'll need a big one with all that flow.

On this side of the pond, the PTO pumps we use are simply PTO speed multiplier gearbox with a mount for a commonly available gear pump. This makes it a lot easier to find something exactly to suit your needs as it lets you choose the right pump.

Anyways, have you checked Surplus Center? They have a good assortment of pumps. The 3000 PSI might be hard to find and you may need to drop to 2500 PSI. The mower will still work with lower pressure, it will just not hold as much load as the 3000 PSI and maybe stall a bit more easily.

Yes Surplus Center is the first ones I called. No luck.

I'm here to see how this project turns out. Calling the Surplus center was a good call.

I actually have one of the Erkskine PTO power packs. 20 gpm and 3000 psi, needs at least 45 PTO hp. I can try and get info off the pump if you’re interested. I found it used for a good deal.

 

[SMH1]

That would be great. Thanks

No offense, but this does not sound like a good idea from a safety standpoint. As mentioned above somewhere, you really need a cab or screen. I have a MTL for my skid steer, and it will cut some amazing stuff. However, I replaced the stock glass with a Shield's Windshield 1/2" poly, and I'm glad that I did. Stay safe.

I've heard plenty about CTLs running brush cutters to know that it's pretty dicey. Cutting big stuff means LARGE fragments getting rocketed around. CTLs tend to have a lot of armor, CUTs do not. AND, CTLs don't have radiators and fans right there next to all that action. All it takes in one incident to wipe out any "savings" that a person might have gained: and if there's a trip to see the doctor it could end up being a financial disaster.
