Haven't seen any, yet. There has been some discussion as to converting some from engine or PTO shaft to hydraulic motor drive.

My Dad bought one of those 5hp chipper/shredders that had bad engine that somebody had left out in the weather last weather and it filled the engine w/water (yes we get that much rain here). The cost to fix/replace the engine was too high so the owner sold the chipper for $25. My Dad was thinking of having it around for spare parts because we both have similar types. I"ve been eyeing it and thinking about putting a hydrolic motor on it but I have a working one that I bought for $20 so......

I thought about it too. I went to a local lawn and garden shop and he had several used ones that had good engines. He said he would take the engine off of it and kncok $100 bucks off the price. I figure a good hydraulic motor will run a couple hundred minimum, plus hoses, pulleys and belts for proper gearing, etc... so, I wait until I can find one with a dead engine for little $$. (I'm frugal... OK, I'm cheap /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

Ingersoll makes one but it's expensive. Probibly better off adapting someone elses.
