8026 conversion and extra service

[Brendan]

So the 8026 has a foot pedal for slew and press a button to change pedal to hammer circuit, coming off the back of one of the tilt threads
Is there a way to change this setup either keeping the pedal to just do boom swing and then having the hammer circuit on a lever, then adding another circuit to the other lever
I know new levers needed but how big a job is it?

do you mean on one of your joysticks or a separate, new lever?
the joysticks're servo and your pedal will be mechanical
assume your boom swing/breaker changeover is done with a 6x2 diverter from one two way pedal service?

Change levers to add a rocker to each one to control hammer on one and other circuit on the other

It should be doable, it all depends on how its set up on the valve block.

Il have a look at the manual and see what's the best way

surely if it's a foot pedal it'll be a mechanical linkage to the slice?

Not necessarily, a lot of foot pedals are servo, Kubota is one of the ones that are linkage

cool .. all my foot pedals're Rexroth servos, in the 'Drema, but a slightly bigger scale than an 8026

The 8026 has what's known as a "wet" pedal.
