Power beyond or PTO pump?????????
Hey yall I bought the New Holland 3 point backhoe. It came mounted to a TC 40 Frame,. What is better/easier- use? a PTO pump? or install power beyond? I like the looks of the power beyond. My tractor is a 4400 JD. I will try and adapt the TC 40 frame to use it if I can.

Tom,
According to TractorData.com John Deere 4400 tractor information, he has a "Pump flow: 8.3 gpm [31.4 lpm]"
Just FYI
dartdale,
I operate a Rhino 75 on a sub-frame using PB for power. It is an easy and clean setup. QC fittings to attach to the PB, and then get a "jumper" hose (see attached pic) when the BH is not attached. (I have since removed that PB fitting and now it is in a Kubota OEM casting sitting in a stack on top of the other two QC castings.)
Re: Power beyond or PTO pump?????????
I would try to plan out what my future uses might be. If you did go with a PTO powered pump you could opt not mount it to the backhoe so it could be used with several different attachments. You could get twice the flow over PB. That kind of flow would make for a quick log splitter or maybe a large bucket mount auger. Of course the tank would need to be about 30 gallons which would be pretty large.
Re: Power beyond or PTO pump?????????
I would recommend bringing the PB to the rear like in the picture above for the BH, log splitter, etc.
Do you also have remotes?
