Would a Danfoss pved orbitrol work with the Deere's rather unique steering plumbing, or would you need to toss all of that off the tractor...
It highly depends on the tractor. SoundGards have a "rather unique" servo steering. 8000's have a "rather unique" priority valve on the orbital. Don't think those are practical to add an off the shelf PVED orbital to.
Some Deere's do have "normal" steering but in general thing are so tight in the orbital area that if there's even room, you'd be doing custom hard pipes and re-routing things.
I've seen pictures of boxcar magnums where guys replaced the factory orbital with a PVES orbital. It's a standard steering setup and lots more room to work there. |
