Default Re: Which hyd excavator pump/setup for a newbie

Every hydraulic system comes with a prv (pressure relief valve) so you can set the psi to whatever you want, be sure you get a guage too.

If you think you build bigger models in the future, then the Premacon hydraulic package would be the better choice... the Premacon package will need about twice the space as the Leimbach & may not fit in the confines of a Bruder model with all the other electronics, batts, ect.

Messing with a plastic Bruder model, 10Bar is plenty strong for it & you'll need to make more than just the arm from metal if you if you last more than a few hrs.
