Hello Tractor Pros!
I just got a used JD CX 20 Shredder, which has three hydraulic hoses, each going to a single action cylinder. These run: one for each wing (up hydraulic, and down by gravity, I assume); it has one for the height control on the center unit (also single action, with only one hose).
My problem is that my JD 6615 has only 2 SCVs.
What is my best option, assuming I want to run the wings independently? Alternatively, how would I get both hoses for the wings connected to one SCV control, if I have to run them together? Should I attach the hose to the upper or lower SCV quick connect; does it matter?
I do have a loader on the front, which has its own hydraulics, and the CX 20 is pull type, of course, so the three point/rockshaft control is available, but how to connect there?
Should I run a hose from the loader, when I am shredding, to get that independent action? How would I get the loader control to "float"?
Any input is appreciated; I am new to this site, so please forgive my ignorance or any breach of etiquette.
