My Electric Diverter

[saskman49]

I added a set of hyd ports to the back of my 2320 so I could control a hyd top link or the hyd chute on my blower, raise and lower a scikle bar mower or any number of other tasks. Here are a few pics of the install. Total cost was a little over 800 cdn and it works like a charm.

And a few more of the hyd lines and diverter.

Looks good! Why did you go the diverter route? You could have fit a solenoid operate spool valve in there and had independent control...I am just curious

 

[saskman49]

Not sure why I would want another spool vale to do what the existing one can via the diverter as it uses the dump/regen cct on the Dual SCV. This way I can if need be in the future possibly add the power beyond and outlets at the back to run a splitter or any other thing like a hyd motor on a bank mower or what have you and still have my electric control cct.

I have a 2320 also and am building a grappel to clean up my lot, haven't decided on the extra hydraulics yet but as kennyd suggested a soleniod operated spool valve? What type and where do you get this? would this be cheaper?

Cheaper? NO! The only things cheap about hydraulics are O-rings and my advice! You are looking at $300 to $500.

There are LOTS of threads in the Hydraulics forum about ways to add extra circuits...Do a search there for these terms then get back to me with specific questions:
