[QUOTE="bucketfork, post: 16125, member: 1608"] Just couple your motor directly to the cutter disc. It'll work pretty good, but you're limited by the hydraulic flow and pressure of your hydraulics. As a rough rule of thumb, for every 1 gpm of flow, @ 3000 psi, you have 1hp. For instance, if your hydraulics have 15 gpm flow, you have 15 hp. for 30 gpm, you have 30hp. The power of the engine can't be brought to bear on your attachment, because you can't stall the engine with the aux. hydraulics. If you could, the hydraulic system would overheat. It's sorta the same speed v/s power dilema we get into in rotary cutters. [/QUOTE]
