Rolling Fat snow with a Mag snow rator
What happens here
Steve explains the hydraulic quick-connect system for the attachments. He clarifies that the snow thrower utilizes two low-flow auxiliary circuits, while the plow uses two different low-flow circuits. The broom, on the other hand, requires a high-flow circuit for its bristles and one low-flow for angle adjustments. The connectors are designed to be interchangeable, meaning that male and female hydraulic fittings can be swapped between the ports on the machine and the attachment. This allows for flexibility in configuring controls to operator preference.
Goal: Explain the hydraulic quick-connect system for interchangeable attachments.
