Now that you’ve sorted the cooling thing can you now fit a PTO so you can run a mower/log splitter/saw mill/wood chipper.

Recently picked up one of those generic 220l freestanding blasting cabinets, so I could set to work blasting/primering/painting the rear suspension/bag mounts etc in several batches.
