ive been looking at tractor chipper combos and come across a set up with the crane mounted on the chipper and mini levers in the tractor which is fine

 

now i also have a trailer with a crane fitted which has a six lever valve which hangs on the back window of my current tractor

 

can i get the mini levers in the new tractor to work both cranes?

 

i guess i need a new electric valve for the trailer?

 

cheers

You will need a electric valve chest on your forwarding trailer compatible with the other cranes mini levers. You will constantly be pluging in and out electrical connections each time you change. I'm not saying it will be impossible to do, but i think the pain factor will rule it out.

 

Buy a roof mount frame or a Jake frame dependant on the type of crane you have on your forwarding trailer. Mount that on the tractor put a valve chest on the roof and have one crane that does it all.
