I’m interested in adding a PTO and hydraulic 3 point hitch for a bush hog. Has anyone tried this yet? Any ideas what I would need to do? Thank you!

I am guessing you tried to do this already and it is a for sure “no go”? is there just nothing in there so am wondering why the access point?

A fellow Roxor owner in Montana owns a company called Torque King. He is "the guy" for Roxor running gear. He has plans to make it work, but as the transmission sits now, a PTO will not engage.

Thank you for replying to my questions. I would be interested in letting the ”Torque King” know of my hopes for his successful venture. Perhaps he monitors this website?

Regardless, I appreciate your reply and will continue to hope for a method.

Best regards,

He does monitor...

It isn't on the front burner right now, but it's not on the back either. However, this is an industrial stove so there is a line moving to the front burner.

Currently we are working to establish mechanical part availability. Half of my current tasks are trying to source parts for customer rebuilds. LOL! If I can get a little ahead again we will work on our various exclusive upgrades, including this one.

Why not an engine driven hydraulic pump and a hydraulicly driven P.T.O.? Could also run a hitch mounted log splitter. Just a thought.

Definately an option, but there are limitations. Only so much HP can be transferred by a V belt, and if you have AC there is VERY limited space to add a pump. I have entertained redecorating everything for a serpentine belt to allow the option for all engine driven accessories but it would still get pretty tight up front.

If a guy had a non-AC unit and a low HP fluid requirement, an engine pump could definitely be added. In the case of a log splitter, you would have to pair the pump flow, pulley diameter, and cylinder diameter just right to not have belt slip, but the operation cycle may be pretty slow.

Ideally someone with a hydraulic shop that sells pumps and pulleys should take a weekend testing different configurations to see what the output possibilities are. Most good pumps have charts to help figure the numbers but I don't have all the equipment to test what actually works and what doesn't.

In the end it is a very good idea but with limitations.
