schaefer72 Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 hi - a question for the powermax experts - is it possible or wise to tapp into and run a front loader off the tractor hydraulic lines ? - will they have enough flow ? - will it harm the tractors hydraulic pump - i figure it will slow things if i was moving the tractor and loader at the same time - the reason im asking is my loader is run off a pump mounted under the front off the front pto - to use a mower or sickle i must remove the pump and mount to attach the pulley setup for a mower - its a real pain ! - what have others done for this problem ? thanks alot
aquick Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 I don't think you can run much of anything off the powermax hydraulics.Not much flow(2gpm)if I recall.
StanD Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 The system does not have enough capacity or pressuse to run the loader. The best solution to your dilema is to buy more Powermax,s, 1 for loader, 1 for for mower, l for snowblower, & 1 for tiller, & maybe 1 or 2 more for odd jobs & spares. StanD
buster Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 How much trouble to change pump to run off rear pto if you have one.?
cuda70 Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 on my 620 i put a double pully on the front clutch an then put a hyd. pump on the side of the engine with its own belt.now i can run loader and mower at the same time.plus the pump also runs the power steering. wen not using mower i just take the belt tension off
yardarm Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 This is a pic of my rear pump. There is a stub pto shaft welded to a 1/2" keyed shaft with a lovejoy between that and the pump. mike [img]http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/uploaded/yardarm/DSC01044_2.jpg[/img]
