Simplified Hydraulic Control System
At 3:30 in
A NEW Salt Spreader
What happens here
The video details the simplified control system of the Arctic Double Down, which differentiates it from more complex, electronically controlled versions (like the 'Double Down Plus'). The new design requires no electronic hookup, relying instead on two hydraulic hoses for operation. Adjustable valves on the back of the unit allow operators to manually control the auger (which feeds salt) and the two spinners (which cast the salt). This simplicity means quick attachment and detachment from any machine with hydraulic lines, providing flexibility and reducing the need for specialized electrical wiring, which can be costly and limit interchangeability between machines.
Goal: Understand the mechanics of the simplified control system and its advantages.
