I'm sitting here doing up a spreadsheet of all the parts he listed, prices. links, etc. I trying to figure out where everything went so I fully understand everything. My biggest problem is trying to figure out what length hoses went where, could only trace a couple labeled ones in the photos.
I'll definitely reconsider the valve. I like the concept of float on the tilt for following the crown when plowing snow & trying to use my top cylinder as the start of a down pressure attachment for a 3pt post hole digger. So I'm not excited about going to the pilot valve on the cylinders as that would put a hurting on both those plans. That might mess up fittings & hose lengths thought. Darn, I may have to actually put some thought & design into this myself instead of just slacking & copying. :laughing: I do agree it was an excellent install. It all looked OEM except for possibly the QC bulkhead.
Think a manual or possibly even electronic on/off valve would make things usable with a sloppy valve?
Still thinking about possibly doing steel lines, at least between the valve set & the bulkhead. I need to call some local shops. In general are steel lines competitive with custom hoses?
Any thoughts about going with 1/4" hose between the TnT cylinders & the QC bulkhead? I'm thinking about using some smaller cheaper QC's for my TnT, then 1/2" ag or flat faced for the 3rd spool.
I'll definitely be giving Mr. Fit Rite a call before ordering stuff. :thumbsup: Anybody can sell a product, and whether it's great or crap, you're bound to run into problems at some point. I'd rather go with somebody who has a good track record of support & stands behind their product. Pretty sure all the posts I've seen around here qualify as good support.
So ultimately he has hydraulic cylinders that were leaking down at a pretty good rate.
