Title: Hydraulic log stops
Post by: reswire on December 29, 2013, 05:55:04 PM
Has anyone installed hydraulic log stops on a Timberking 1600 ?  If you have, I would love to have some pictures. I currently have all the other features that are hydraulic, but I'm a little sketchy on how to "tap" the current system to install another hydraulic cylinder.  Is it necessary to do any modifications other than a detent valve, to run an additional cylinder to raise and lower the backstops?  If you have any pics of a homemade log stop system, I would appreciate seeing them.  Thanks, Joe

They don't sell a "kit" for a 1600. Bob Eaton told me it is doable but I need to talk to Mike. Going to call him Monday. I'll let you know
