anyone recommend a company for adding hydraulic lines to a machine 10-13 ton size or any makes that are easier than others?
Would like to stay with a hire machine but with the kind of attachments we are using this is getting harder. As been looking at grapple saws with rotators, needing 2 double acting lines, a single acting and a case drain.

Adding the lines is the easy bit, getting the additional spool slices and bolts suitable for the valve chest will the the time consuming/difficult and expensive part in my experience.

So if you want to do it properly rather than bodging it with diverter valves and the like, get onto the local dealer of the make of the machine and see what your up for at least in parts prices and availability/lead time.

my jcb dealer recommended summit they did a good job for me very happy , its worth considering if you want a proportional control or not if you adding an extra spool as its more money but better control.
