You'll need a gearbox as well surely, to get the output coupling to run at 540? Belts on a jackshaft for the output perhaps? How many horsepower does the processor need - you can get Honda clones pretty cheap but only up to about 18hp which probably won't drive much of a processor.

This guy seems to have a great setup.

Based on the llyn in North Wales.
Sure he had some details about it on arbtalk, I'm sure he cannibalised an old iveco daily

Hey, I am not really sure yet, the pto only drives an oil pump, specs say 7.5kw, hydraulic flow 39L/min
hydraulic pressure 180bar.
I will have ring round some hydraulic and engine companies and glean some more information off them..
