We also have a very simple way of working a single acting tipping circuit of the blade or leg circuit

and the recipe is Aiden? .... I'm all ears

Are you just dumping the oil into the case drain line Aiden?

6 X 2 Diverter valve in the blade - 'up / down' line - in the chassis, to tank/case drain ... on up it feeds the tip ram to extend .. on down it feeds the flow to the tank via the diverter and allows the oil to flow from the tip ram to tank as well ... the pressurised flow probably contributes a syphon effect to the returning oil too as the T line is the route of least resistance

I would be interested to know as well
One way I`ve thought of was a manual 3 way diverter on the up side of the blade pipes to the tipper pipe, mounted on the lower structure, and on the upper structure an other 3 way diverter valve in the opposite blade feed pipe diverting back to the tank.
With both valves diverted, work the blade control up, tipper goes up, and with the blade control down rather than lower the blade, oil from the valve dumped to the tank, and the tipper comes down exhausting it oil through the blade valve in the block.
I haven't tried it but it works in my mind

if you have one spare wire in your central commutator/slip rings .... can all be done down stairs with a 6 x 2 solenoid diverter at the flick of a switch

I think where on the same line @V8Druid
I thought of doing the return on the upper structure, as the case drain is only a 1/4" pipe
I know it would be a pain having to turn the two valves rather than one.

My only problem wit that is that the case drain goes from the bottom half to the slew motor before it goes to the tank and I wouldn't want to blow the slew motor seals

That's along the line I was thinking with the 1/4 bore case drain making back pressure.

I follow your reasoning and makes sense ..... could still do it electrically with two 3 x 1 diverters in tandem from same switch ... if you can feed the lower one with leccy through your slip rings

that's a PITFA ... mine are separate lines

I don't recall seeing any electrical feeds through the central coupling and I`ve just had a look to double check in my parts manual, and I don't appear to have any.

bummer .... no choice to go other than manual then ...... what machine is it?

I have two spare rings in the 'Drema and four in use ...L & R legs, plus blade control solenoid selector valve's live/+ve lines and an earth

You want one like this if you want more info let me know wont be hard to get one to the statesView attachment 9270View attachment 9271View attachment 9272View attachment 9273View attachment 9274

I think you should get me price on one of those mate! Looks bloody brilliant to pull with a huddig

I used to run this little Herbst behind my tractor. Pretty decent trailer to be honest and would have thought its compact dimensions would suit work behind a Duck. It's made of 6mm steel and being flat floored and no lips it's easy to scrape out with a bucket without catching on anything.

 

[Vinpetrol]

I’d like that behind my duck

 

[Vinpetrol]

What category driving licence do you need to tow the trailer behind duck on the road for moving buckets etc ?

Class 1 ?
