Hello, I bought a shear as above a couple of years ago for our 7 tonner, it was sold as being good for up to 8" depending on pressure and of course material it was working with. It never really performed as we hoped and I always end up with a man with a saw in attendance as well. I meant to get back to them but then we finished that job and it's mostly been used on smaller stuff since anyway. I also figured the first question would be what pressure are we running at.
So to now, got round to checking pressure and the relief valve is set at 4000psi, this seemed plenty to me but on looking at their website they are talking way over that. Question is, does anybody reckon to run at 4500 or above ? that sounds like hard work and storing up trouble long term on the machine to me?
I see other makes supply more than one cylinder option to make the best of their shear depending on working pressure, I didn't realize different makes of digger ran such different pressure>
