PTO Hydraulic Power Pack

Looking to add one to my LS 4140 to power a Halverson wood processor. Need 15.5 gpm at 2850 psi. Anyone have a supplier they would recommend.

If you want to piece it together and probably came out cheaper than a ready to go Power pack, Surplus Center is a good source for those parts.

Oh and keep in mind it's just a compact tractor and not a skidsteer, so that front axle is going to feel that weight.

You ever get this done? Thinking about going from a skid steer back to a tractor. I need to run my processor though..

No. Went with a dedicated processor

Thought about that but I'd much rather sit in my head cab and watch the wood fall into the dump trailer...

Came close to getting a Halverson but it would not have been the right choice for me. I have a side business supplying firewood and I can run splits directly into my pickup dump bed with the processor. In addition, I cannot sell large splits to most of my customers and the Halverson cannot handle re-splitting large rounds.

As to sitting in a heated cab, I do not process in the winter so that would have no attraction in my case. I run the processor starting in April or May until November. It is set up under a small group of trees that provide shade for warmer days.
