Jacob Bolson - 8/29/2008 09:50 With the trend of manufacturers to factory equip machines with steering valves, doubtful. Hydraulics are a pain in the butt as it is and compared to software and control systems, have poor profit margins. I know that some folks down in Australia have been taking generic steering valve kits, fitting them to machines, and then using the MojoRTK to drive them. I'm pretty sure that the partnership between TeeJet and Leica is supposed to make TeeJet hydraulic valves available as a solution for Leica customers who want hydraulic steering. I have no idea what the quality of the TeeJet valve is and I'd sure be interested in hearing from people who use them.
