To BYD or not BYD thats MY question

[kennyd]

Been looking at those, but again, seems like the work ports are on top.

That is an easy problem to overcome with a few fittings, take a look at my valve below:

Thanks for the feed back from everyone. I'll need to rethink my valve selection.

The 3PH hitch does work when the BH is installed though the lower 3PH arms are removed so minimal pressure would be generated if you moved the 3PH.

I'm unclear why I need BYD since the BH doesn't have it as it only has 2 main ports IN and return. If the BH functions why wouldn't a open center CV for TNT. The CV would be used very intermittently with short durations. I don't see me using the 3PH and added CV and 3PH at the same time.

One difference would be that the CV would see output port pressure due to the use of the 3PH. Is there any danger in that?

Kenny,
You're a lot younger looking than I would have expected.:laughing:

I'll take a picture tomorrow of the loader valve that I am thinking of replacing so you can see why top ports aren't very good in this situation. For the TNT, your right that I could work around it.

That is exactly the problem with connecting the low-pressure-OUT port
to the IN port of the next valve. You are limited to something like 500psi
for that port. That is what the Power Beyond port is for.

When the hoe is attached and connected that way, you can operate the
3-pt cyl, but you won't exceed 500 psi if you don't lift anything.

TnT is used with a box blade, so you need the 3-pt cyl; you don't with the
hoe mounted.

Nimco seems to have some manufacturing and distribution in US...

NIMCO CONTROLS Inc.

United States of America

I know NIMCO are very popular in Europe and Russia, and seems to focus on that market...This mentioned valve is a NIMCO cv550, with lots of great options, as plugin valves, controls etc....Too bad it is hard to find a part distributor in US...Btw way....I think they have distributor "mess" in Europe too....:confused2:

I think they have left the US market.....thats the reason Surplus Center are selling these low priced valves...Unless you give NIMCO America, a call, we wont find out the deal....


Here is the pdf file about the mentioned valve, from a Finnish distributor, Polarteknik

Here's my current loader valve Kenny.

Is re-designing the mount an option for you?

Kenny,
I feel that I'm starting to walk on the OP's thread here. I'll post something on my 3PH rebuild thread.

Thanks

Or start a new one since this is unrelated to the 3PH
