Small hydraulic driven compressor.

[trev7530]

Anyone know where to get one, needs to be relatively small to go on a tracked post driver?

Quickfencer didn’t one once but they told me it was very unreliable. I don’t know how or why, I bought a petrol driven one and mounted it on the knocker

I wanted a hydraulic driven one to save running another engine, I can’t see any reason why one couldn’t be made, if the engine failed on this I’m sure an old hydraulic motor could be found to drive the belt.
What machine have you got?

 

[trev7530]

I’m in the process of converting a Morooka mst300, got a new Protech post knocker to go on it.
Might go down the 12v compressor option, think quickfencer now do them to.

These boys do them.

I'm sure @Mr Happy could sort you a hydraulic motor to convert a belt driven compressor.

Why not just buy a compressor kit from solo fencing systems?
Engine driven not hydraulic but designed to fit on mst 300.

Keep an eye out for ex bt 7.5t lorrys. some of them had a nifty hyd driven compressor amongst other things buried under the floor.

Or....

Can you not fit one of these in the engine compartment driven via belt?

Or fit an air conditioning compressor to the engine for onboard air.

Cheap to do.

How did you get on with this @trev7530 ? Got any piccys, considering doin sommat similar myself.

 

[Bloders]

how much are you willing to pay?
common fitment on excavators is hydraulically driven hydrovane compressors - to fit air brake systems etc

Ended up putting a hydraulic driven compressor on it, it’s working but a bit slow, need to change one of the pulleys to speed it up a bit.
Haven’t really used it as I’ve got problems with the post driver, hopefully be sorted soon. I can post some pictures tomorrow if you like?

No hurry, i sort of mean't the whole setup rather than just the compressor, be interesting to know if you'd do anything differently, and how it turned out etc.

The one I can supply requires 13 Lpm and min 120 Bar. Let me know if you require any more technical details.

Anyone know if you can get a road type compressor that runs off the tractor hydraulics?

 

[Sharpy]

I have a two tool piston compressor here on the back of a massey 30e, belt drive so an easy conversion but you would need a strong motor for it, the tractor knows that it is working.

 

[Highland Mule]

Have a compressor on my Landy - factory specified to give air brakes but never used by me and fuse now pulled. Really should remove it, but never gets high up my list. It does show that a decent supply can be achieved by electrical power.
