Hi all,
This is great community / site. Thanks for letting me to join.
I’m about to start a my first conversion project. That is a mini-loader currently functioning with fuel engine that runs hydraulic pump. It is pretty much similar as the jimmyaz build. It should be relatively easy Project compared to many shown here. Few questions still…
The current fuel engine is 14hp. What would be a correct size for electric motor (kW)? Would 5kW be enough? I’ve understood the effiency is a lot better with these. But unfortunately I don’t have specs of the hydraulic pump with me here. I’m planning to use 48V system.
As the current hydraulic system is old would it be more feasible to replace that too?
What is budgetary (about) pricing for new electric motor vs. Second-hand? Both options are available.
Thanks in advance.
