do you know oil flow?
no I dont, I know its 3000psi before the motor, I will pipe the cooler up the same as my newer machine which i think cools the oil as it returns

Thanks @Shovelhands for the recommendation. I have supplied several in my time. All I need to know is the return flow or the model of hedge cutter. Usually cool the return flow from the flail head motor.

About 7" wide by about 2ft long maybe more and 4" deep? at a guess got a pipe in & out at each end which is about 2 1/2" or 3" dia hoses just pushes on with jubilee clip. it has 2 threaded mounts but thinking about it one has been re drilled and they gone right through! could be sealed with a bolt and fibre washer I guess? Its the Bar and plate style Aluminium rad.
I'll get a pic of it tomorrow for you if you want?
Yes a pic would be good, I was planning on having a fan on it but I large rad will dispel lots of heat

Speak to Kevin Williamson at Barton Le Street, potato harvesters tend to have a nice oil cooler and fan unit on them, and he scraps harvesters.

Couple pics of intercooler. Might be awkward with the hoses. Should take a fair bit of flow. The redrock had a similar sized section for hyd oil but it had smaller tubes in it! That took the full return flow of 110litres but had to have a bypass valve as with cold oil you got pressure spikes on return when closing rams as there is more volume of oil going back in return when closing a ram and it would split the cooler hense a bypass valve needed.

Be sure you are purchasing a cooler that will handle the maximum flow of your pump, and personally I'd have one with a bypass to be safe. Also an auto reversing fan will save keeping the cooler clean and aid its efficiency.
off topic i know but...
for the good stuff was it...
its something thats been itchin at me for a while now to do, moonshiners on the tv dosent help much either....

It was lethal, a few drops in a bottle of beer and it was sweet dreams.
pressure cooker on stove, copper pipe tower, ans termometer at top, condensing coil
and wow, there are other ways, like freezing the water content and removing,
or there is an evaporator and condenser thats getting good reviews.
Some poisions come off below 73 ish degrees, then the pure spirit at about 74.
carefull control of temp is the key
