I am thinking about buying a hydraulic auger drive for my Kubota M6040. It would be mounted on the loader. I'm favoring the Danuser EP6:
Model EP6 | Danuser
The EP6 is requires 6-15 gpm, which seems to be a good match for my tractor's hydraulic pump, rated at 11 gpm.
I'm also probably going to get a grapple for the FEL, so I'm considering adding a 3rd-function valve. Would a 3rd function valve be able to run the auger drive, or do I need to run hoses from a rear remote valve?
I'm concerned about having enough flow and also whether the on/off switch control of the third function valve would be too abrupt for the auger drive, versus engaging it gradually with the rear remote valve.
