valmet rotator problem???

[roglog]

I have just made a fitting for my telehandler with a timber grab and rotator but the rotator will only turn one way and does not stop very well either!

The rotator is old but its made by valmet and still has the tag on it, anyone had experiences with these or know if repair kits are available?

Have you tried all possibilities of hose swapping around?

Seals could be shot, you can have them rebuilt. Either try an agricultural engineer if you have a good one locally or send it to a valmet dealer.

Just a question on the telehandler.

 

Does it actually have the right amount of pipes and or flow direction on the pipes. As some don't actually have a pumped return.

 

I would look into the handler first.

Good point, if you swap the hoses over does it rotate the other way?

seals shot or crossover relief valve or its a sinlge acting line youve connected it to or the telehandler has a valve on the lines that act as a crossover valve by having an open centre hence the poor braking on rotation thats where i would start

if the rotation motor is a parker omp you are as well replacing it as they are quite fernickity

no it only works the same way when the lever is pulled the other way. i am using a 6 port diverter valve and its opening and shutting the grab fine.

mine only has one service, the same as the ram for the quick hitch. this works fine as well as the ram for the grab that is also runs of the same lever
