Im curious, did you happen to add an hydraulic flow restrictor to your thumbs quick attach line? Yours seems to have a nice steady extend/retract rate. Where as so many of the others I've seen slam hard from open to closed and vise versa.
Yes, it came with the kit. That part is definitely required. I would use a smaller hose than the one I have if I did it over too. BTW, that part is also a little fragile, it breaks if it gets banged while in use. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Appreciate the Information. I've used a dime (as pressure reducer) w/ a small hole drilled through it on a pickup truck snow plow system converted to skid steer use. Took a couple tries w/ hole sizing, but it now runs at perfect speed. Dime was installed inside quick fitting on attatchment side on both lines. Ive since replaced dime (for fear of corrosion) with a stainless steel slug.
David Werner dont quote me. I’d start around 1/4” and work up. I wanna say approximately 5/16” but it’s been a while back. 3/8” was way too big for mine.
@@driveheronman4304 lots of videos on TH-cam of people installing commercial tracks on their skid steer. Tracks generally run $1,000 - $2,000, depending on brand and style.
If you were to add a pigtail like you would have on a highway trailer you could use one of the wires in the pigtail to supply power from your tow vehicle to charge that battery off the tow vehicle.
I’ve been looking for a thumb and by far this is the most affordable I’ve seen. Thanks!

Aaron Nunya great idea thanks
@@aaroninks how big did you make the hole?

Hi, did you have to use spacers for your skid steer tracks?
no
Thank you very for this idea. Man you have saved me some money.
Building a grapple from drops at the metal store already bought all the supplies..i kinda wish i bought that grapple kit tho..

Where did you get the hydraulic lift kit?
Mark Gilkey sorry. The trailer was built a long time ago and I don't remember.
Ok thanks!
it would be worth having a couple of micro switches on the trailer so it auto stops at either end of travel
Thanks Stephen. Might have to try that.
Vetty nice.
Thank you.
It occurred to me, why not start our own deer herd?
'course you might prefer for them to be seen and not herd?
Goody good idea thank you much
