SAM SP sprayer project

[Sebastian77]

Hi all, so we've recently been given a SAM SP that had been sat in the brambles for a while so to say.. doesn't have the original sprayer still attached though, but we happened to drop on a 24m cleanacres sprayer that has a hydraulic driven pump...

So now to the questions, only have very limited knowledge of the machine.

I've found what I believe to be supply/return hydraulic fittings, marked 1 and 2 on the photo, is this correct? Cannot see any method of enabling them in the cab so I assume they are constant pump (and why they are left plugged in to form a return loop)?

Assuming they are the hydraulic supplies, I need some method of coupling them to the sprayer, thinking a basic "spool block" that I can attach to the frame, maybe with mechanical levers that can be locked into flow?

Any previous owners of a similar machine with insight would be greatly appreciated!

Attached photos show the supply/return on the pump, and 4x spool pipes that go out to Rams.

Yes they are flow and return. On the demount sprayer there was a spool block at the rear with air operated spools controlled by the various switches in the cab. You could do something similar again

I've noticed that it ran on compressed air, all that still functions but the cleanacres sprayer I have has electronic controls on the booms. So I think easiest way is to rig up a form of splitter block for the two flow/return. Thank you!

Before you get to far into this build I suggest you speak to Sands and get any hyd info they can supply you. Also find out what flow rate the motor requires. Then you can start to decide how you are going to operate the motor and boom cylinders.
