LX3310 Power Beyond Banjo Sizes???

As Dan is writing, those are DIVERTER valves, you still need a control valve before them. You do not want to run your PB loop through these.

DOH! Good thing we had this discussion. Before even reading your reply I woke up this morning and realized the flaw in my thinking. Stacking these valves will not work because the fluid on the non pressurized side of the cylinders won't have any place to go.

Thanks for helping me see the light.

Back to the drawing board.

There is no pretty way to do any of it on the cab model. I'm not sure anyone even makes a kit for the cab.

Hey Old Hokie,
Am I understanding you right, those 2 pieces together make a third function type valve?
I am looking to add something like that to my 8N on the power beyond port prince valve I already have working.
I have looked at some $300 more or less ones you suggested on another thread too. I just looking for if my thinking is on the right track .

either way thanks for your interesting posts!
Bill

Thats just the valve. You need plumbing and electrical controls. Therecare a ome kits on ebay or smazon for under $400.

Thanks for the reply. I think I will get one I can handle the electrical and plumbing parts.
Seems like a good price for something I might not get to right away but planning .I want to able to use this with a remote control for my root cutter project. That is an old Hurst rescue cutter I picked up on ebay.
It works good by just bungee the prince valve back . The valve on the hurst works just like a 3rd function bypassing until you move the lever open or close.

Thanks again Dan!
Bill

If the root cutter has its own open center control valve all you need is a power beyond loop- some hose and a M/F disconnect

I thought about that but I am running it on about 20' of 2, 1/4" hoses for the flexibility, I don't want to have the whole flow thru that all the time so the valve with a remote control would give me the ability to turn it off and on while using and not go back to the tractor.

Bill

I dont think thats a problem. But shorten those hoses and upsize from tractor to cutter valve

The thing I am trying to accomplish is to cut bigger roots out of our walking trails so the longer hose gives me more flexibility each stop with the tractor.
On a personal side my wife went thru a lot of medical issues this year and this is a project to keep her walking and removing hazards.
I couldn't pass up the price on that valve and plate, about $120 total I ordered them tonight too.
Those Hurst were run on small lines and 5000 psi. I turned up the pressure on the 8N to about 2700 and it does great on roots. The pump I used on the system is rated to 3600 and the prince valve is 3000.
The inlet Outlet at the tool is only SAE 4

Bill

You got mote heat generation in the b I bungeed valve than the hose. Eliminating it will probably REDUCE the thermal load

I was hoping the 3rd function would accomplish that but maybe heat just moves to that.
Still a mater of convenience with the longer hose and remote control of the 3rd function is less on and off the tractor for this 72 yo arthritic body!

Bill

I dont think we sre on the same page. What is your third function?

@Chanceywd , may I suggest you start your own thread?

You have a different machine, and different questions that this thread is about.

Sorry,
It started when I asked about the valve that had been listed and I got carried away.
I will try to do better.
