Default Re: Valve questions

A lot of Husco stuff is made for equipment manufacturers. Husco won't sell anything for it, you have to go thru the equipment manufacturer it was made for. I have gone thru this with Husco valves made for John Deere. Just my opinion now, but I would absolutely never buy a John Deere just because of all the proprietary stuff they have on their hydraulics. A customer of mine brought in a Husco valve last week from a JD bulldozer. Spools were sticking. He wanted a new valve. Husco told me to pound salt and go thru JD. (Not in those words) The new valve from JD was $600 per spool, there were 3 spools, do the math. I could get a valve that was close, but not close enough to work, for $200. For the whole valve!
