FEL Snowplow Angling Cylinder Setup

Smalljobs · Sep 10, 2009

I'm in the process of adapting a Meyer plow to the Koyker loader arms on my Jinma 284. Can anyone help spec out the control valve and circuit to control the two single acting angle cylinders? I plan to leave the loader functions intact and add the system for plow angle control via a separate valve.

Any regular valve will work since you have two SA cylinders. The valve will see that as 1 DA cylinder.

Does your existing valve block have a power beyond port?

The Koyker loader valve will have the power beyond and I plan to feed the new plow angle valve as well as rear remotes for log splitter via power beyond. Hope to use stacking valves. Rob (3RRL) is helping me.

I didn't know that. You will do well by Rob. He is very accomplished, and seriously underestimates himself.

Did my PM help you? Or do you need more specific info?

Kenny, Tks! It was a big help and I'm getting ready to order all the valves, hose, etc. Rob helped me pick a stacking equivalent to help with rear remotes as well. Thanks to everybody.

Hi guys,
Steve wanted a valve to have rear remotes to run his log splitter or top link (later) as well as run his snow plow. I recommended an open center Prince Stack Valve, 2 spool with power beyond section. One spool to run his snow plow with 2 single acting cylinders which will act just like Kenny says above, and the other spool being detented for log splitter use.

It is just like the one I put on Loretta's tractor earlier this year except 2 spool instead of 4 spool.
Kenny, Steve told me the valve link you sent to him, and it turned out I sent him the very same link for the same valve before adding the spool for the rear remotes. We still think alike!

BTW, Steve is much more accomplished than he puts on, so he should whip out this project in no time.
Looking forward to seeing your thread and photos of the install Steve.
