3038e w/ snow plow hydraulics question

[Walker332]

I have built a FEL mounted plow using an old fisher snow plow that I cut down. Ideally I would like it to be power angle. Is it possible to connect the plow cylinders to the roll function of my FEL? One cylinder to the end of the roll circuit and the other cylinder to the end of the curl circuit? If that makes any sense, is it possible?

Thanks in advance for any help. :thumbsup:

It is possible, but I don't quite understand the way you want to plumb it...you will have to disconnect the curl circuit from the tractor and hook up the plow cylinders, but sometimes the curl cylinders will leak down some.

I believe you have the #305 loader, and I think that has a 3-way valve (regen all the time) that will prevent the use of a diverter or even just the valve itself since both lines will be pressurized.

If I disconnect the curl cylinders when they are fully retracted, I would think they would remain that way. If I do it the way I hope, the curl movement of the joystick would angle the plow left. The roll movement would angle the plow right.

Does that help at all?
