Hi looking for a bit of guidance on adding rippers to my D6H with diff steer, has anyone done this or seen a setup of how it is plumbed up?
I have looked at parts diagrams on sis and it seems if it didn't have the diff steer valve in the control bank that would then be the ripper valve. If it is a diff steer machine it looks like cat runs a valve remotely from the main bank I think?
I have heard people say that the easiest way to do it would be to tap into the blade tilt circuit with a diverter valve, but even the guys that sell aftermarket rippers don't seem to know the best way to get it plumbed in.
I have purchased a set of rippers secondhand off a machine exactly the same as mine but they were putting a bigger set of rippers on from a D7G with adapter plates so kept all the valving. I didn't get to see the plumbing on their machine to work it out so starting in the dark.
So has anyone done this and how did they do it? What works best ect?
Thanks for the help in advance!!
