oldnslo... Does a Tele-handler have float feature? Not sure since have not been around newer units. I can't see what use a float feature would be on a telehandler... Sooo I doubt they would have that feature...

Read where on what type of vehicle or application? Man lift, crane, loader? Mostly on telehandlers... is my experience... If my idea is not do-able, I will step back from the safety valve thing until I can hit a hydraulics shop... I suspect your loader has float option now. With bucket on...

I made the chute rotator using 12V electric... https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/braber-72-snow-blower-modifications.391347/#post-5019850

From what I read, If the hyd. sys. fails, the valve "locks off" the hydraulic fluid so forks or bucket do not move... About the float... Folks talk about putting their snow pushing "blades" into a float condition so it will follow the contour of the ground to make plowing snow easier...

Could you link me to "hose burst valves"... I'm not familiar with those...

They are called "check valves" by Prince... LD1, please take the day off... Prince Pilot Operated Check Valves RD1600 Series RD1650: 20 GPM, 1/2’’ NPT Inlet/Outlet, 4:01 Ratio, Two Stage Poppet, 222180 Brand: Prince

Sounds like the system you described will solve all my ideas... Can you please link to the item you have described ??

Thank you... "Pilot operated check valve" is the "REAL" name of the device I need help with... From what I have found on u-tube, "safety block" is the job site name... If there is a leak in a hydraulic circuit, a "check" of the manufacturers design, closes the hydraulic circuit... A fail-safe...

Not knowing when a hose may fail is my concern... So, the "safety blocks" that are installed on some equipment are not a necessity ??? I believe in doing all one can to make one equipment safe... Look for things that will prevent accidents regardless of one's actions... Can someone help me...

New to me 401B JD construction tractor... Loader bucket only... I have concerns about hydraulic lines breaking and someone getting hurt... I also want the bucket to "float" for winter snow removal.. Can I get some help with both of those things ??? Thanks for any help you can give... Dave

When I grew garlic, the lifter below is what I used... The blade is from a highway snowplow... The wings on the side kept the leaves in the rows... The triangle teeth broke up the hard packed soil and kept the lifter from rising up out of the ground... The barrel is what I marked where to...

Below is one idea to get the "reverse rotation" needed to move a snow blower to the front of a tractor.......

I finally had to get a drum mower... Sickle bar wouldn't work with my alfalfa... A 135 CCM is what I ended up with... A great mower.... And I have a 14T baler... When I get the ground speed right, for my windrows, it works fine... I'm still tweaking the baler to be dependable... I had...

I've noticed, that on occasion, I can't manually initiate the knotting sequence... There is some sort of safety mechanism that won't allow that sequence UNLESS there has been approximately +/- 21 cycles of the plunger and the "safety bar"(#1) is lowered into the "go ahead and tie the bale"...
