1996 Jd 8875

Just purchased a 8875. Does this machine have continuous hydraulics installed to run attachments??

Most skid steers have aux. hydraulics as standard equipment but not all. It could be a center pedal if hand and foot controls or on the hand control if hand controls. The operators manual or even a brochure should mention it.

Thanks Dave, my 8875 does not have a third pedal but on the right hand control there is a up and down sliding lock that controls pressure to hydraulics. I didn't know if you could slide it a certain way to keep hydraulics flowing to the face couplers all the time for a sweeper broom thanks again

I wouldn't think a sliding control would be for adjusting pressure. It does seem that it would be for aux. hyd's though. Usually they can be set for continuous flow in one direction. If you need in the other direction you switch the hoses. The opposite direction will still work but not lock for continuous flow. Very useful for something like an auger if it gets a little stuck you can back it out.
