New to me 1850

Thanks in pretty happy with the machine and flail mower costs.

I figured I'd try to max the power from hydro-->gearbox at the cost of a few rpm on this first try... And basically make a complete tractor tool carrier with driveline... It should be close and like a tractor, I'll be able to swap gearbox driven tools but have the forward facing geometry handled already.

If I'm not happy with the power(or the China gearbox implodes) , I can power the belts directly with this or a better matched motor....we'll see how my setup works In practice... I imagine I'll ultimately want to direct drive the most common tractor built tools... Brush flail, power rake, mulcher for me.

I'm planning on a short u joint setup from the hydraulic motor to the gearbox. Motor mounted to a 3pt quick hitch... From there I can pick up any 3pt tool.

Mine was a WoodMaxx TM-86H, with a hydraulic feeder.
I did a direct drive through a semi flexible shock absorbing coupler from a large mower coupled to a surplus center agriculture splined PTO drive, undersized to do about 1100 at WOT on my 1445, so I could run the Deutz at about 1/2 speed.

All the best, Peter

Getting inspection by the pit crew mix-up fit.

Couple new lights, a Jumpstart /charge port, 12v outlet, paint. Decal set en route. PT red was clinging to life. So repainted w sail blue, MF gray and alumacoat.

Seat base and flail mower w qa plate went to fabrication today for fit up. Full suspension seat on return along with the sideshifting flail cutter.... Finished pics to come.
