Here is the issue.
Several Cat hoes ranging in size from 335's to 315's all have the same wedge coupler system. The trouble is hooking up hydraulic lines for all the attachments that fit these machines. The hoes have all different sizes of blocks and fittings on them. Without a bushel basket full of adapters to follow each machine or attachment at times you don't have the fittings to run an attachment that is well within the machines limits.
We have been toying with the idea of buying all matching blocks to mount on the booms so everything matches.
This would include pressure and return hoses, case drains etc. Some times you have up to 5 lines on an attachment.
I guess the question is what do you all do or have done to make this fool proof.
Or isn't that possible?
