Thread: PTO Question

A factory in queensland make hydraulic pumps to bolt onto a lt230 t/c ( maybe they'll do one for a lt95 too ?) - but as far as I know, you can't bolt those onto the pto itself. Provided that you do not have external chain drive, a fitter and turner might be able to graft a hydraulic pump onto the pto housing, but then you'd lose the ability to drive the winch - but that's not a big problem as powauto still make hydraulic motors to bolt onto your winch. A simpler solution might be a 12v hydraulic power pack, somthing like a winch motor with a pump on it. That would power your tray and not interfere with the winch. There was article a few months ago where somebody in the UK fitted a log splitter and a tipper tray to a series 3, using somthing similar.

G'day Langy,
Who makes the hydraulic pumps that fit onto the LT95? I have spoken to Max Engineering and they only make the L230 fitments. If they can be brought would save a lot of work on my project. David.

Maybe someone can clarify - but I think that the LT230 was designed to take the same PTO as the LT95.

I would be inclined to fit an hydraulic pump to the T/C and run your winch from an hydraulic motor, with a diverter valve to run your other gear.
