I have a Curtis snow plow that attaches to my FEL. It has a crossover relief valve from the factory.
I contacted Curtis for the valve relief setting on my plow. They said that it is set at 1500psi at the factory. I then asked them if it could be adjusted. They said that I could turn the allen head plug to adjust the relief, there is a spring behind the plug that compresses. One turn equates to approx. 100-200 psi. Next, I asked what the max PSI setting is on this valve. They said that the allen plug could be turned all the way in and then have no relief but it could damage the hoses and/or tractor.
Does that mean that I could potential achieve 3500psi relief from this valve?
