I suspect the extra HP goes into fast cycle times.

Probably right Al. Im slowing down so I guess the processor should match me.
So basically, the saw is driven by a hydraulic motor with some increase of RPMs via jack shafts & pulley & belts. Chin

No hydraulics will be used or harmed in the driving of the saw. It will be belt driven through an electric clutch to engage it.
" no hydraulics" ? I give up! Bash

Thought you said you needed to build a bender to make the hydraulic lines, no?

Steve, I think the saw chain is being powered directly from the Wisconsin engine, via belts with an electric clutch in between. Everything else runs off of the hydraulics. If not, I give up too.....  Big Grin
Willie has it right, the saw is belt driven , all the other functions are hydraulic.

The sprocket for the chain saw finally arrived, glad I didn't have a piece of equipment laid up waiting 9 weeks for parts.
Drilled and threaded the bolt pattern for the sprocket, a bit of creative clamping. Not well stocked with metric taps and dies, was rather amazed how well a Canadian Tire brand tap cut 4140.

Then had to cut a keyway indexed to the bolt pattern.

The keyway cut and it all fits, once in a while I get lucky. Even in the shop.
