i remember seeing 30 GPM called out in the manuals for the rear circuit.Jim, naturally I can't remember the max flow and pressure numbers of the rear hydraulics now, but 30 gpm sounds close.
I use the rear circuit for a snow blower and ran "extension hoses" from the backhoe's connections to the loader. It's somewhat described in this thread if you go back two years.
For turning the 'blower on and off I just engage and disengage the PTO.
One potential problem I can foresee is that with a large bush hog you'll have to keep the rpm up to power it, making the already somewhat fast speed in 1st gear, low range, too fast. With the snow blower I can go back and take a second (or even third) slice, but that may or may not work for you.
Welcome from overSEEs.Hello all,
I am a new FLU419 Owner and eager to put it to work..................
Thank you in advance for your help,
Jim
Yeah, that's what I thought. In which case I'd try to find a brush hog that's made to run on about 20 gpm.i remember seeing 30 GPM called out in the manuals for the rear circuit.
The short answer is yes, it can be done. Turns out I just finished with proof of concept yesterday evening--just got the last adapter shipped that allowed me to hook it all up front to back and turn on the PTO to look for leaks and let those big blades spin. I have to tell you it felt pretty nice to see it all work. Such an amazing solid piece of equipment!I would like to put a hydraulic bush hog on the front
24 gal/ min at 1800rpm sticks in my head. But i dont have the TM in front of me.i remember seeing 30 GPM called out in the manuals for the rear circuit.
Umm, have you considered the geometry of such a chain-up? LOTS of stress on things unless you lift the loader up above the cab by a bit.Thank you both. Chain up and over the headache rack of course.
