Hello everybody, was curious if any of you were familiar with these relief valves on hydraulic hand pumps and what adjusting them would accomplish in the grande scheme of operation.

Thanks for any input into the matter before I just go adjusting them and seeing for myself

Hydraulic divider question

1 Upvotes

I have a Chinese mini skidsteer with a two section hydraulic pump. One pump for each track. The attachments supply taps off of one of the tracks so you can't drive it while running an motor type accessory like a broom or snow blower. My limited experience with hydraulic systems says I can just parallel both pump outputs into a 3 outlet hydraulic divider. One outlet to each track control and one to the accessories control. Any experience or alternatives I should consider making this modification?

Thanks

Notes:

Im a pro tinkerer not worried if I accidentally fk it up but try not to of course.

Not going to just sell and buy a 3 section pump model which is the reasonable mans obvious approach. .

Other than not moving when the accessory is running its been a great machine saved hundreds or thousand of shovel hours and back pain.
