i've got some lovely 10gl min 3000psi Cat pumps turning @ 1000rpm ( so last for ever)

 if you had the engine to power them you could buy one and  build a nice unit ;) ;)

says 20hp..... but I think this is a little small, I would go with 24hp or above so the engine doesn't need to be working at full capacity

A cursory glance over Ebay, there is a 40 HP for 800 but fitting them together would be more than I would want to take on.

How much are you selling them for?

I can do very little now, on holiday early tomorrow morning but I will speak to my service people and see if they can use them and or build me something with a couple of them.

I will be back a week on Thursday and will ask the questions then.

I will let you know what they say
