    Adding Lift/Crush Cylinder

    I didn't, but you would need an motor spool valve which wouldn't have load checks. Blast from the past!

    Adding Lift/Crush Cylinder

    Ha that bit is for the autofeed. It won't reverse, but it will block the lines going to the "in" side of the feed wheel motors and dump the fluid back to tank. After I have may's bills paid I'll look at adding the lift/crush setup.

    Adding Lift/Crush Cylinder

    $67 for 13 fittings and 8" of 1/2" hose and the autofeed is ready to be screwed together this afternoon. Still got to get a relay to convert the second normally closed valve into a normally open.

    Adding Lift/Crush Cylinder

    It would cost about $500 more, but I'm pondering setting up the feed and crush system so it can be controlled electrically, by remote. With the system I would be able to make the feed rollers go in and out, and add down pressure from the remote. Controls at the infeed would remain basically...

    What's it's specs? Are the working ports connected in neutural is the main point I ponder.

    Adding Lift/Crush Cylinder

    Had it shipped in from Illinois, but yeah, it came off another chipper.

    Adding Lift/Crush Cylinder

    Hahaha. Actually, I could add a stand alone electric pump to operate the lift/crush, that would also serve to back out a jammed bit if the engine stalled (happened once when we first got it by a groundy) but with autofeed that shouldn't be a big worry. The electrical part would make the...

    Adding Lift/Crush Cylinder

    Live hydrualics? Negative, it's the old school, ran off the cutter wheel's pulley setup. That's why it'd be possible to add another pump or change it out to a two section pump, but that wouldn't be ideal.

    Adding Lift/Crush Cylinder

    This is what I was thinking about for a control valve. Wouldn't the load checks bugger up the ability for the cylinder to follow (float) the feed wheel rolling over logs/brush when the stick is in the center position? The detent down and up would be handy I would think.

    Adding Lift/Crush Cylinder

    Typically bigger stuff is fed with the mini, but it'd sure be nice to be able to get the hand loaded pieces (chipped a couple Friday on a non mini job) between the rollers easier than it presently is. You're right though, lifting wouldn't be needed as much as I was thinking. The smallest...

    Adding Lift/Crush Cylinder

    I already have everything needed for adding non reversing autofeed to the chipper aside from a couple fittings and a hose. The other thing I wanted to add was a lift/crush cylinder for the good ole Bandit 200+. The control for the lift cylinder will be an open center, motor spool valve to...
