Hi folks:
I'm just curious in general about CUT's that have "hydraulic remotes". I'll give my understanding, and someone please correct me where I'm wrong.
In general, hydraulic remotes are designed to handle low-flow/high-pressure things like cylinders (like the lift and curl cylinders on an FEL). They are not designed to turn hydraulic motors like you might find on a hydraulic stump grinder attachement, hydraulic post hole digger, etc.
Is this correct? Or does it vary by brand? How do you know which hydraulic remote is designed for which type of application? On Power-tracs (which are completely hydraulic, including the drive system), there are hydraulic connections to power cylinders, and seperate "hydraulic PTO" connections to power hydraulic motor-based attachments. You can't mix the two because the hydraulic PTO isn't reversible and it provides a constant 8gpm flow, which the hydraulic remotes are reversible but have a low flow (I believe).
Anyway, I know that "hydraulic remotes" are options on many CUT's, but is "hydraulic PTO" an option as well?
Someone clear me up!
Thx,
Dave
