The hydraulic valve is mounted on the frame of the
Laser Grading Box. It is an electrically-actuated
double-acting, single-section valve. Hoses and
quick-couplers to attach it the tractor’s auxiliary
hydraulics are included with the hydraulic kit.
An electrical cable is also provided. One end of the
cable has a 3-pin connector for the valve. The other
is open and can be attached to the Control Panel of
the automatic control system as required. Refer to
Figure 2 for wiring details of the cable and conduc­

The valve accepts a 12 VDC proportional current

skid steer’s electrical system. Usually this
involves a direct hookup to the battery.

on a level area for attaching to the skid steer.
Start the skid steer and drive up to the attach­
ment plate and secure per the manufacturer’s
directions. The Level Best quick-attach plate
is designed to be universal.
NOTE: If the skid steer’s pins do not fit securely
into the rectangular holes at the base of
the attachment plate, these holes can be
notched larger to accept the pins.
