Hey all, ive been searching and searching for any info on converting this to the modern 2 stick controls (like an excavator)
i know basic hydraulics and how it works. My thought would be i would be able to buy two 4-way (left and right) hydraulic joy sticks and plumb them into the existing valve body, so it would work like : pull back on right stick would be plumbed into the boom up on valve body and so on. like left stick (swing) would be plumbed to the two swing vavles on valve body.
Would this work you think? or would i need to change the valve body around to accept that type of controls?
i am a operator for work and run cat controls and something about this 4 way i just cant get the hang of so looking for ideas to convert it to a standard modern 2 stick without breaking the bank on a full conversion or buying a new piece of equipment.
thanks all would really appreciate any insight on this
