Threw a hundred dollars on the table and brought it home. Ought to be good for something if it works and I can provide enough pressure.

I know nothing about these. Why 4 lines? What should I be concerned about? Just looking for a little education.

awesome...last time I looked you could not find one for less than $800 and that was the low end...perfect for making a knuckle boom...that was my intention for a firewood processor...I'll give you $200 plus shipping/packaging costs...!

The extra line might be for a braking function?

Could also be a drain line for letting fluid that bleeds through drain back to the fluid storage container.
Also could be for operating another device such as opening and closing a clam shell bucket or grapple.

Here's another view.

Possibly two feeds (for different directions), a main drain, and a case drain, or two main drains.

I gave $800 for this one,0508151720.jpg
The 4 lines, two control the rotation and the other 2 control another function, such as the cyl for a grapple. The ports should be marked for each function.

Based on the data plate and a lot of Google-Fu, all I could come up with is that you have a Kinshofer KM235-20-3000 rotator - which I figure you already knew.

So the best advice I can give is to call/e-mail the US office and see if they can get you any documentation on it.

Pine, how's your processor build coming. I have some parts you might be interested in if you want to come over the hill and prowl thru the shelfs.
