First of all, I just joined this forum and still new on how all this works so be easy on me!!!
I just purchased a Cat 525B skidder with the intentions of using it to pull a small drum chopper and fire line plow. I have to do some spraying on both clear cuts and pine straw fields this year and would like to mount a tank and boomless spray system on the back. I plan on using a 500 gallon Polly tank and building a frame to protect it. The grapple has already been removed and the winch is still on the machine but the shaft has been taken off. My question to you experts in the logging industry is this. How would I be able to plumb in a hydraulic sprayer pump into the existing system? Can it even be done with a older machine like this one? Would I be better off having a little pony motor to pump with?
Thanks in advance.
