Hi Guys! Hey we need to lift a sheep-foot roller (8'X4') behind a D5GXL dozer. The problem is we don't have the 4th valve. They cost a fortune from Cat. Dose anyone haven 4th valves
available for a reasonable price?? Anyway, here is what we are thinking. Will this work? How about tapping into the main feed from the pump to the valve block, before the valves with a simple
"T" then allowing the (closed center) valve, with its own relief system, to function independently of the Cat valve body, we could route another "T" back to the hydraulic reservoir for the
return. I suppose that would drop the pressure to the main valve body when operating, but we could use 3/8 hoses or put a restrictor in the line? The valve would only be operated when
lifting a 8'X48" sheep foot roller (two 48x48 sections) It's just a lift system, that's why I don't need a real ripper. We will simply lift the sheep foot when we turn around and in transport.
Weight is about 2&1/2 tons. We have that part figured out. But will the hydraulic idea work?
