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,
Eddie B.

Ol edb beat me to the punch on the #44:)
But here's the batch anyway:

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:rolleyes:
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.

OM and ccjersey, thanks for your replies. GWH
