Added Additional Hydraulic Circuits on PT1850

My flat face fittings are a mixture of Parker, some Italian brand, etc. that were mainly purchased from Ebay.

My immediate need is for each valve when powered to control one of the cylinders ob a V-plow. Long term, I am considering several things but they are pretty nebulous at this point.

So you have two independant cylinders, each operating one half of the V plow?

 

[SpringHollow]

Yes, if i understand it correctly, I can even do a reverse V and use it as a pusher which would be nice at times.

What I don't get Ken is why you didn't go for one of those groovey multi function handles ;-)

As always, very well done and very cool, but I would really want the protection plate. You have so much important now going on there. On my property all those hoses would be spread down one of my paths it is in such bad shape....

Hello SpringHollow,

I was wondering if the switch on your Eight Ball is a toggle, or if you need to keep it pressed down to change what the joystick operates...

Cheers,

i had extra toggles but i decided it was better for me to have a momentary on switch instead of an on/off switch so I went out and got one.

If anyone feels like spending money, Bailey's has a nice control handle with 3 switches.

Does Power Trac even offer a factory third function? I haven't noticed it on their pricing sheets.

Yeah, it's the AUX PTO lever by your knee.

Not too convenient, but works just fine.

So I hook up my snowplow, operate the knee lever to lock the quick attach, disconnect the hoses from the quick attach and connect the hoses from the plow angle cylinder.

Now the knee lever operated the power angle of the snow plow, but not the QA cylinder.

I can see one advantage to this system.... you can't disconnect the QA and drive away with the hoses still attached to the implement!
