You making firewood out the blue gum or you got a Lucas mill?
Mike the advantage with hydraulics is the power you can get to the bar and the torque at low revs. We are using hydraulic power pacs with 8hp motors and we can get nearly all that to the bar. The hydraulic motor is very compact,maybe 4 inches diameter by 4 inchs long.Much differant to a 8 hp electric motor. Also the hydraulics are controlled by electric proportional valves so with a remote control I can forward,stop, reverse with a switch and adjust the revs infinitely from a rev every 5 minutes to 240 rpm. The reason we want the very slow speeds are that the machine also padwelds the bores for me.Ak HDM said:Ray, I noticed that your line boring machine is hydraulic powered, the ones in use here are electric motor driven- no hydraulics. Do you have better control of the feed speed with the hyd. versus electric motor driven?
At the large gold mine here in Fairbanks there were 2 Cat 5130 front shovels, but I believe they've been replaced by Hitatchi 3500 front shovels. There are also Cat 789 trucks & a 994 loader.
You've got a good job!
