Steve, Im planning on using that Wisconsin to power the machine but and there's always a BUT, some cuter than others mind. All the commercial ones have much bigger engines, 40 to 80 hp range might be a manly thing as I can't see where the power is used. Oregon has charts on everything about their Harvester chains, 10 hp should give a really good material removal rate, and the splitter which won't be working when the saw is should only need maybe 8 hp.
Anyway, in case the 14 hp isn't enough I'll run a driveshaft off it to a jack shaft where I can run one of the two pumps, then belts to speed up a second jack shaft that will carry the clutch and the second pump. If I need a bigger engine it would be a lot easier to convert with the driveshaft drive. The Wisconsin revs at 2800 RPM, which will drive the small pump for the cylinders and such, the second jack shaft will run at 3600 RPM for the clutch and splitter pump. Then speed up off the clutch to 7400 RPM for the saw to give a chain speed of 8000 feet per minute (Oregon's recommended speed)
Probablty a lot more info than you asked for but thats the current plan.
