Anyone know anything about hydraulics?

In particular to do with mono block lever valves? I've a mini skid steer with a 5 lever mono block valve for the controls which includes 1 service for a grab etc. My question is...is it possible to splice another lever in to have 2 services for a grab rotator?

 

Any help would be much appreciated

Depending on the valve block you can pipe an extra lever through the high pressure carry over line and will allow you to fit another lsingle Bank lever valve. Or you can fit a six way diverter which can be operated via a switch and it will send oil to the rotator as opposed to the grab

hi you should just be able to add another spool block on to the end of the spool bank providing you have enough roon then pipe to rotator,

Thanks for the replies. The current pipe work runs a pipe from the pump to a 5 lever spool then obviously back to the tank. No room to fit a 6 lever spool so would have to be a separate lever. My thoughts were to just spur off the pump pipe to a lever with closed centre then a spur back to the tank pipe, would this work or am I thinking too simply? I'll get a pic of the setup tomorrow

Wouldn't work bud as your other line is to tank in neutral so you wouldn't get any pressure
I feared that would be the case, just to clarify...you're saying the current spool will have p to t open in the neutral position? What options (if any) do I have to put an additional service lever in place with this setup?

You could plumb a electronic diverter valve into of your existing spools. Means you will have a switch to move between the functions and then your existing lever to control it. You wont be able to grab and rotate at the same time but its quite a cheap solution that means you can use a rotator
