    I'm using even older machines (50 series JD) with no flow control on the spool so inline adjustable restricter on the pipe coming out was the way to go. Return screws into convenient port top left side of the main housing. Tractor powers the processor when its not on the trailer - as evident in the photo!

    I have done this successfully for the last few years using an inline flow regulator to limit the output from the double acting spool (closed centre systems don't like supplying full flow continuously but can keep up with a restricted flow) and fitting a return direct to sump. Fit a male quick release at the return to sump so you don't get the pipes round the wrong way. Simple, cheap and effective.

    The antler style hydraulic controls on my timber crane are getting pretty knackered (worn linkages, suspect broken return spring etc). Is it worth trying to get them repaired or is it cheaper and easier to replace with a new set? Any recommendations for a supplier? Nothing electronic please!!! Thanks, Gordon.

    Can anyone recommend a UK manufacturer of bulk bag size ventilated log bags. There are loads of resellers to choose from but I'm really interested in finding a decent and good value UK manufacturer rather than just buying the cheapest bags imported from wherever. Cheers! Gordon.
