I'm wanting to build a slasher for my 23 ton excavator like the ones pictured . I'm waiting on a reply for some Quadco harvester teeth . I'm thinking Bisalloy 80 for the disc but i need help with finding a suitable bearing block (overhung load adaptor) to mount the disc on . I want something with a round flange with maybe 10-12 bolt holes . All the ones ive seen are a straight shaft and i'd be worried the disc could come off . How do i select the correct hydraulic motor ? I have 2 X 254 litres per minute of oil (2 X 67 US gallons per minute ) @ 320 BAR (4400psi) . How much of that can i use and still be able to slew etc ? How do i merge the twin pumps ? The Cummins 6BTA engine is 172 HP , i'm hoping to achieve around 140 HP at the cutter head . I was going to buy a Slashbuster but the cost is too high so this is my only option . Finding information about the Mason's is easier than finding info about these things .
