Loader Valve Recommendations?

[Dave M7040]

The best advice from a hydraulic manufacturer available to anyone is from Cross Manufacturing.

You don't wait long on the phone to get to talk to knowledgeable staff.

I have sought advice from many other manufacturers but these guys were the best.

I would look over stuff on their site before calling.

I have never used a Bucher valve but person that makes top n tilt recommended a distributor in one of his posts. Can稚 remember his name but I think the post was about valve leakage

Thanks Dave for the advice. I have looked at cross before but can't find a three spool valve at all.

Thanks, I will search for the thread.

I found the thread. It was Brian at Fit Rite. I will PM him. Thanks again.

Anyone have any experience with this valve? It looks as if I can get most of the features I am looking for with this unit.

One question I have is they say it has load check. On other valves in the same line, they say they have load checks on each spool. What, if any is the difference?

 

[oldnslo]

Without a schematic I am just guessing on the load check but some valves only have one load check at the inlet and some have them at each spool. If only operating a single function at a time one load check works. Running multiple functions with different loads require a check for each spool.

Thanks for the reply.

This is what I was thinking. Unfortunately, I have not located a schematic for this valve.

I do see Nemco had a valve that also has the options I want. However, I have seen some negative comments about their products. Still researching what is the best option.

I have found 4 options for a new valve. None of them are exactly what I want, but all would be better than what I have. Which one would you choose?

1. Bucher HDM11P:
A. 12 GPM
B. Adjustable Relief 1300-3000 PSI
C. Parallel Circuit
D. 4th Position Float
E. No Joystick available with 4th Position Float
F Single Load Check
G. Spool Leakage @ 1450 PSI is 6cc/min

2. Prince WVS31BBB5C1:
A. 14 GPM
B. Adjustable Relief 2200-3200 PSI
C. Parallel Circuit
D. Float can be used on any Spool
E. Joystick available
F. Single Load Check
G. Spool Leakage @ 1500 PSI is 3cc/min

3. Nimco CV110:
A. 13 GPM
B. Fixed Pressure Relief (not sure of what options)
C. Parallel Circuit
D. Float can be used on any Spool
E. Joystick Available
F. Load Checks on each Spool
G. Spool Leakage @ 1450 PSI is 2cc/min

4. Walvoil SD5
A. 12 GPM
B. Adjustable Relief 1500-3000 PSI
C. Parallel Circuit
D. Float on any Spool
E. Joystick available
F. Main Load check and Load Check Special Float Spool Only
G. Spool Leakage @ 1450 PSI is 3cc/min

On your first post you stated one of the reasons that you are looking for a different valve is that your current valve has no load check. Why would you consider another valve without load checks?

Did you look at the Bucher HDM11S series? It appears to offer load checks on each section. I did not look at all the other features or options though.

Would also suggest contacting Prince since there two section loader valve has load checks for both spools. Three section might also.
