B7200 hydraulic steering

[Paul Allwood]

I'm in the process of purchasing some hydraulic steering bits from a BX from Daryl at Mossy Creek Outdoors @Mountainman - planning to attempt to fit it to my B7200 HSTD 4WD hydrostatic.

I found the plumbing diagram below on another thread - I think it was done by @North Idaho Wolfman - apologies if I have that wrong.

The specified maximum hydraulic oil flow rate is 15 l/min.

Would this plumbing work in my case ?

Is the line out of the steering control valve to the PB/T a pressure line suitable for supplying the FEL valve ?

Many thanks as always.

No you can not do that, there are several reasons, but #1 is that the PS controller can not handle the volume required to run the rest of the systems properly.
Have him send you a priority valve to split the flow into 2 paths.

@Mountainman man - can you also help with this as suggested above by NIW ? I'll add it to the emails.

Ok, thanks heaps.

I'll have a go at a plumbing diagram and post it for critique.

Its just a prority flow divider that duvides one input stream (pump) into two separate outlet steams. One outlet has priority and gets a fixed flow for the PS circuit. Excess flow, if any, goes to the implement circuit.

Therein lies your problem. The pump produces a 4 GPM flow at max RPM and if you suck off anything close to 25 LPM for the PS circuit there will be nothing left for the implement circuit. What you need is an additional pump for the PS and forget about a priority flow divider.
