I designed this machine to be easy to use, reliable up to 15 hp or more. (Pump is good to 15 hp but I can bolt on a higher hp pump if I’d like to. Fits right in.)
Underneath is the oil drool catcher to keep the saws from dribbling oil on a shop floor if it were to be run inside the building.
The saw can be disassembled on the machine when doing modifications, test, modifications and more testing.
I could make the legs removable for easier transporting. But haven’t got that far once the machine started working, we all wanted to get using it right away.
Smallest hp saw tested is the 026 stihl, stock, all original. 2 hp. I forget the tq.
Highest was my 660 at 8.7 I think.
We have ran this machine for several hours before and the numbers were always consistent even when the oil got warm.
That tank holds 20 litres of oil which helps control the temps.
I can use any scale to get readings. This was a hanging scale that we had laying around.
So far the dyno is just a hand calculated graph which is slower than computer. But works.
