Re: Maybe a Step \'Backwards\', But Handy?
I built another version of this. I hard connected the quick attach cylinder and put a valve on the line to it on the right side of the PT422. I put tees in the lines to connect the attachment cylinder. It seems to work pretty well. If the valve is open and there is no attachment then the quick attach cylinder operates. If the valve is closed and there is an attachment connected, then the attachment cylinder operates. If you open the valve with an attachment connected, you can get both cylinders to operate, although one will usually operate first.
