YM1700..Hydraulic valve

Popstoy43 · Feb 14, 2005

I just purchased this tractor and was wondering what function the hand valve under the seat controls. It is marked on or off.
Also I would like to run a hydraulic log splitter off of the tractor. Any tips or ideas on plumbing one in. Thanks. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Welcome to TBN,

The knob under your seat is the implement lock...CW will lock the hydraulics, and CCW will open and the implements will lower to the ground.

The other "L" under the left side of the seat (as you sit) is the fall or flow rate....which regulates the speed the implement will drop.

Most tap into the high pressure hydraulic line and return line to produce a hydraulic circuit for hydraulics.
