966 hydraulic question

ltfarm · Apr 14, 2011

My 966 has two sets of auxiliary hydraulic outlets in the back which I've only used for cylinder control. I'm looking at a used stone picker with a hydraulically driven pickup reel.

Is it possible to adjust the control lever to allow constant flow to the hydraulic motor? I haven't felt an open detent setting when using cylinders. Or without the resistance of the cylinder maxing out will the lever stay in the open position without me holding it there?

Are there other concerns I should be aware of? The second set of outlets would be used to raise and lower the pan and to dump the rock box.

Thanks for your thoughts

I doubt if the lever will stay in detent without holding it there. When I run hydraulic motors I use a tarp strap to hold the lever.

There should be a detent position on the lever though.
