Thanks!
Now that's the way to do it!!!!Biggest bonus feature of the wood splitter... Splitting right into the truck.. Saves so much time and effort.
Coastal,
That is such a sweet set-up you’ve built....the machine plus the attachments!!
Thanks for the vid and pics.

I've been looking at motor swaps, or feasibility of adding a turbo to this engine, but then it becomes an issue of pump sizing, valves etc etc... Might be a lot of work for an endless hassle. But I just don't know honestly lol!Any way to get more power from the current engine?
That is one awesome machine you have built there THANK YOU for sharing it with us
Ya it's really difficult having to stare at that view!Dang sucks to be you Coastal. Cant imagine having to look at that everyday.
Yeah that is difficult working conditions. Doesn’t seem to be a crackhead in sight to try to steal the tools out of the truck!Dang sucks to be you Coastal. Cant imagine having to look at that everyday.
Turbo and intercooler would help with power loss at altitude, but you'd still have 50-sized pumps. I'm surprised the AC won't keep up. Isn't it the 50d cab with guarding? Do you think a 75 carbody would be big enough or would you want to go even bigger if you started over?The 50d engine doesn't make enough power to run the 75 sized final drives fast enough. It has lots of torque in low, but man it's slow all around. The 50d engine also is short on power to run any good hydraulic attachments like a mulcher, or harvester. The ac system barely keeps up. Overall I just wish it was a bit bigger I suppose.

LOL, yep - bigger is usually betterYa it's the 50d cab... Not sure why it won't keep up either. If I started with a 75 complete I'd probably be happy with it. But a 135 would be good too.
