GT3200 hydraulics question

[aczlan]

I have a GT3200 which has 2 hydraulic valves. One for the deck lift and one for the attachment lift.
I would like to be able to angle the plow which would require another valve, or some creative work to the existing system.

Would it be possible to tee into the lines going to the deck lift cylinder and use that hydraulic circuit to lift the blower or blade?
That would free up the current lift circuit to angle the blade if I can find a cylinder to angle it with.
Has anyone done this with a 3000 series?

Thanks

Hmmmm....I see what you're saying, cause you're most likely going to have the mower off. Never heard of it being done. In my opinion, it would be too much of a pain, not worth the extra effort...and not a lot of room to T lines under there.
I've installed several valve kits/angle kits and they're not so bad. Just have to test the hydraulics before you seal everything back up!

Good luck!

Thats a good Idea John Deere does that on the 445 and newer 700 series garden tractors.

I used to swap out mower and blower for a women up the road they had the valve under the floor board behind the aux ports.
