41 and 44 Hydraulic Pack Specs

[NZCat]

Hello Folks

After a search I found an reference that it was "thought" that a 44 unit operated at about 1000 psi with flow of 29 or 40 gpm.

Has anyone got a more definitive answer on the specs for these units ??

Thanks - Foster

G'Day Foster,
here is a scan from the HCU Serviceman's Reference Book Form No 12914-1.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,

Many thanks Guys, very much appreciated from here "down-under", a bit off the beaten track so to speak.

I am delighted to learn about the No. 44, so it is good that NZ Cat asked the questions. Now, I have a couple of questions. First, does the system come with either one or two "spools"? Second, is a "float" used when plowing snow with a set of shoes on the blade?

GWH,
Read the specs on the 44
Those shoes are an attempt to control the blade from digging in when utilizing a small tractor for dozing/plowing. The float position is used when you just want to skim the surface as in brushing or snow plowing and back dragging the blade.

The #44 was available with one or two spools, but only 1 with a "float". The float is fine if you don't need the down pressure to make it scrape clean. More like a cable blade when in float position.

float works well for rear mounted equipment with folding wings or wheels that need to run on/follow the contour of the ground. With a normal raise/hold/lower valve, you can create extreme pressures in the cylinder and lines because the fluid can't flow and allow the flexibility that is required running over variable terrain.
