I like the PHD back hoe mounted idea. I'll have to try that myself someday.dfkrug said:Yes, my hyd PHD is a Worksaver 714H unit, adapted to my hoe,
using the curl circuit for the hyd motor. Works great.
4-wheel steer is a cool idea. I would love to try it some day.
It would work well for a low speed tractor, but poorly at higher
speeds unless Rears turn only a few degrees.
In my younger days I drove a large Hyster telescoping forklift at construction sites. It would 2, 4, wheel and crab steer with a twist of a valve.
The crab function got me into and out of some tight situations, especially with a large machine.
If I were to build a 4 wheel steer (non articulated) machine I think I would make the rear steering selectable, because of the high speed stability.
