Please bear with me as I know nothing about hydraulics other than the basics. What I'd like to know is would I be better off using the PTO direct of the front of the engine to power a hydraulic pump to power attachments on the 3pt linkage? My intention is to use a post driver & possibly a hedge cutter/trimmer. From what some Poeple tell me the hydraulics that power the rear end of the tractor might not be upto powering such machinery. If this is the case does anyone know if there's anything I can do to insure the pump is upto the job. From what I understand it all depends on the flow rate of the pump. Can I fit too big a pump? Therefore putting to much pressure on the system coursing it to fail? Or leak fluid under pressure. How would I find out the amount of hydraulic fluid I would need in a tank fixed to the tractor & pump??
If anyone has done anything like this I would love to see some photos of it to give me a head start.
Or would my tractors hydraulics have enough power to drive the attachments ??
Look forward to replies Stu
