So I'm back to dealing with an issue with this thing. Put the new motor on a couple years ago and ran it for an hour or so without any issue until it would randomly stop spinning the blades. I'm fairly certain the machine was still sending hydraulic flow to the motor, because every time it happened, I would see the hoses move when I cut off the aux hydraulics.
I have had nothing but trouble out of this thing and got pretty discouraged and threw it under the front of a storage trailer.
Needed it on a job so I grabbed it out of storage, it worked during a short test, so I loaded it up. Within a couple minutes of cutting at the job, it started doing the same crap
I would notice that it didn't seem to be cutting and when I checked the blades weren't turning. I had to complete the job, so I kept playing with it to see if I could figure it out. I found that if I throttle the machine down, waited a minute, and slowly throttled it back up, the blades would spin up and work 8 out of 10 times. A heavier load on the cutter seems to trigger the issue. I'm not trying to cut anything crazy with it.
Im wondering if the check valve , they call it an H valve, is causing issues? What say our resident experts? Below is a before and after photo of what I was cutting and a picture of an "h" valve setup, like I have.
