cutting brakes /rear disconnect

Post by duncan »

Ok just orderd my cutting brakes you guys who are already running this do you just run your cutting brakes to each rear brake or do you use one cylinder for the rear and one for the front .Havent seen anyone go for locking the front and spinning the rear only locking the rear and spinning the front.

Any info would be good

Left cutting brake goes to left rear and right cutting brake goes to right rear, with a single line running from your master to your cutting brakes.

my old buggy i used to be able to cut anywheel (it had airlockers)

my new one i just have front and rear disconnects and normal floor brakes

disconnect the one i want stopped stand on the brakes and just spin the other end through the brakes

works perfect for me

wouldnt set it up to run individuals again in the front as its not worth it

it is a little help in the rear to be able to cut them individually when climbing slowly tho

I've found front digs work better when both rears are locked. I've got mine on an air over hydraulic setup, so no levers just switches.

My rear dissconnect I made out of 40 series transfer gears. Slides onto the transfer case spline as would your normal flange. This is also operated by air ram.

Mine is the same but I used hilux transfer gears, and definitely need both rears locked to do a good dig.
