Do you do larger ones? Or electric driven ones that can power a rock drill?

Post by: Defender on March 17, 2007, 22:43:31: That's the Mk 2 version. The Mk 1 version was powered by the tractor hydraulic system, but it struggled to provide enough power, so the Mk 2 had to be PTO driven.
I'm sure we could produce something with a larger capacity, assuming we can get a large enough compressor unit (That's an Atlas Copco unit).
There's no reason why we couldn't build one that is electric powered.

It's called "Simba Orange".
I don't know where to get it though as we just had a tin of it lying around the workshop. :)

Nice. I kinda fancy a job like that!

Shouldnt the drive belt have a tensioner of some sort in it? would make it easier to change the belt and to tighten it as it ages..
