Stump Grinder Build

JJ. I have considered the relief on the motor, but I don't think I need one. The PTO Circuit should cover this as Power Trac has designed. My mower does not have a relief valve on it. What am I missing?

Carl,

You may very well be right. It could have a motor spool valve on it, and if it does not, you will need a relief valve.

A hyd gage in a tee and plugged into the PTO circuit will tell.

Maybe your brush hog has a relief valve on it. How long does your brush hog take to spin down.

No derailment. I watched this. I don't have the guys tools so I had to farm mine out to the local machine shop. And his skill set with metal is so much higher than mine.

JJ. I will call Terry and inquire with him. Bush Hog takes a long time to wind down.

I believe your lovejoy couplings will fail before the bearing. Stump grinders experience a lot of shock loads, lovejoys dont absorb shock very well

I agree on the lovejoy's and also don't think the pump is big enough. it might work but its gonna be slow

Lovejoys are standard with these hydraulic systems (I have been researching the heck out of them) I don't disagree with your assessment but I found no other alternative that would work.

The motor is suposedly correct based on other designs. 800 RPM with my 18gpm and 3000 PSI. It physically is very small. I thought it would be a lot bigger. I am prepared for failure and have set up the motor mount to adjust if need be. 800 RPM seems to be the hydraulic speed of choice.

I don't know if the motor has bypass, but I think my PTO circuit does. I mean my mower shuts off and winds down. I may be wrong, but can't call until tuesday.

Machine shop finished the wheel but I am in Canada until tuesday... :-(

Don't know why he said your pump was not big enough. 18 GPM at 3000 psi.

I think motor rpm is a bit high, and the torque is only only 183 ft lbs.

I would suggest going through a planetary converter of about 5 to 1, and that will drop the speed to about 160 rpm, but up the torque to about 915 ft lbs.

Your lovejoys look to be a size L, hard to say for sure with pics. The stumpgrinder attachment I own uses belts between a gear box and the grinding wheel. The belts absorb shock. I use a type L lovejoy to couple the hydraulic pump between my engine and pump on my wood splitter. Just a visual observation, but I dont believe a type L coupling will standup to the abuse of a stumpgrinder, if used to direct couple the hyd motor to the cutter wheel. There are other types of lovejoys that might handle the abuse. I dont know the type number, but there is a lovejoy spider coupling that uses two spiders encased inside a collar. The shaft ends look similar to the coupling that you are currently using, but the collar is made to accept a spider on each end and goes between the two shaft ends. There is also a chain type coupling that uses roller chain to connect the two halfs of the coupling that I believe would be a better choice to connect your hyd motor direct to the cutter wheel shaft. A collar is also available for the chain coupling to protect the roller chain from dirt and to contain grease for lubing the chain.

I love the opinions and insight, really. I copied my design from both Bauma and the other major manufacturers. This is basically my parts list (I ordered similar of everything, cobbled together off of craigslist). As you can see, L series. I don't argue your guys assessment. I have yet to find anyone who owns this Bauma (hydraulic). I do know that the Hydraulic versions are all direct drive. You loose too much through belts and gearing to make it work. According to green teeth, grinding is about spinning mass and HP is not as important.

This is the motor I got
