Hi guys,
I have been working on this cutter just about all summer. What I thought would be a 2 or 3 week build took on a life of its own. I have reached the point where I need to run hydraulic hoses and finally give this thing a try.
What I need advise on is what size hydraulic hose to use. Going to remove loader and use the joystick to control boom arm. The cutter will be powered by its own hydraulic system using a 21gpm PTO pump and 20 gal reservoir.
How will hose size effect speed and movement of the boom arm? Would ¼ in hose give better control than 3/8 or ½? I need good joystick control so I am not fighting it trying to manage deck movement. I can control all 3 movements from loader joystick.
Thanks all, Joe
