JCB 520-50 Auxillary Hydraulics

BillPrecision ยท 2023-07-15 14:02

Hi all. I have a 2013 JCB 520. I just built an auger to go on the quick attach. Is there anyway to operate the auxillary hydraulics and have boom function at the same time? I cannot rotate the auger and provide down force or even just a float function for the boom. Any Help is much appreciated! Thank you

    It's impossible to have a floating boom on any telehandler, for safety sake. The hydraulic cylinders have line locks and need hydraulic pressure to release and move. Does the auxiliary even have enough flow for a auger? Never heard anyone attempt this.
