Adding multipurpose hydraulics to the deuce

[jesusgatos]

Would love to talk to you about al this in a little more detail tobyS. Don't want to take this thread too far off-topic, but we just bought a few hightop M923A2's, and would like to add hydraulics to them too...

Not sure I understand. What's going on here?

That plate is designed to attach to a skidsteer and it's onboard hydraulics and simulate a 3-point tractor attachment like a Ford 9N or many others from the last 50 years. That means the 2 lifting arms and the PTO drive. We would need to run all three and have some capacity to spare. (Not very hard to do.)

Skidsteer's have their own family of interchangeable attachments.

The next most common would probably be Unimog attachments. But the 'Mog only has a PTO drive to simulate and a plate that mocks up the attachment points. (plus the 'Mog style hydraulics, of course.)

No need to reinvent the wheel, just build a hub adapter.

All these ideas and work are way to good just to let die last December!
