PTO speed control

MR:
As you know, I have the diverter valve in the lift-curl circuit with joystick button. I have found that not being able to curl the bucket and dipper arm at the same time has not been a problem. I dig with the bucket curl, then pick it up with the tilt circuit. Maybe doing both at once would be better, but this works pretty easily.
For snow plow angle, 4 n 1 bucket and grapple, the button is great. I still need a pivot adapter, however, so I can use the aux pto to tilt attachments side-to-side. Can't have too many functions, right? /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Correct! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Who's going to produce a pivot prototype for our populace to ponder? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I was thinking of a mini-van rear wheel hub. Cheap at a junk yard(wink wink). /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Of course it does! But this doesn't have to be about making due with anything that's less than absolutely perfect! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

To be fair, I must point out that I have yet to use either the mini-hoe or 4n1. So I have no practical experience with using the QA lever for curl, etc. I just kind of figure it would be a drag to have to reach down like that.

The button on the joystick is definitely a workable option and if it wasn't for that pioneering design, which had been discussed here before, we wouldn't have a starting point for anything more complex.
