Logsplitter valve

[farmboy3]

Evening all, just broken my second logspltter valve,bought both of them from flowfit online and not through misuse they just don't seem to be made very solid,could anyone recommend any other supplier of better quality valves please?

Approved hydraulics are excellent to deal with.

Thanks,will try them out.

Just wondering, where/how did they break? I had a flowfit one break too. As you say don't think they're very well made

Down load the hydraulic catalogue and go to page 84c or type 97 into the page number on the toolbar.......................

The handle broke on the first one at the end of the thread because the valve wasn't kicking out at the end of ram stroke so they replaced that one foc,then the alloy cast broke on second one last night where the lever pivots.

Exact same thing here, handle has broke (and been replaced by threaded road) a few times. It's only m8, which is a bit thin in my opinion.

 

And the cast alloy part has broke too!!!
