kpinnc 11,942 #26 Posted May 29, 2023 Got the pulleys all worked out and a belt for it. Used some paint I had for a while too. No one else will like it, but it's not a Wheel Horse implement, and it's mine. At least it isn't green... 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,592 #28 Posted May 29, 2023 @kpinnc , your thoughts set up design ideas are solid , personally if there is a local farmer that has a flail tractor set up , and would do the work for the . feed payoff , might be the best . seen that a lot recently , in a few hours its cleaned out and gone , think the wear and tear on your unit would be pretty severe. those tractors / gearing / HP / CHAIN FLAIL UNIT , eat up a field like nothing . just talking , pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,592 #31 Posted May 29, 2023 @kpinnc note on your pulleyset up , if you can / want to , re grease those pulleys , heat / stress , will quickly turn an origional grease into a whyining unit , noting the small pulley closest to the frame , if that is not set up for war , like a 550+ temp grease , had a number of pulleys fail before I went hi temp / stress lubricant . those front swivel wheels , also . hope it works for you , frame detailing looks solid , that will pass on the movement related areas , to the rotational strength set up . hope your choice is go bombproof , your testing will tell the tale , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regreased 5 pulleys: 3 that go to the brush cutter and 2 on a mule drive. Didn't have high temp, just used red and tacky. Usually do it a couple times over summer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
