Does size really matter?

There is actually a dealer kit from NH to add a loader using already installed rear remotes.. so it is at least an 'optional' way to go anyway..

Several larger tractors were designed to use the remotes for loader operation. There are a few compact tractors that can use remotes for a loader, but the number is restricted to a far fewer in number than the larger tractors. As Chris has mentioned about his tractor, some even have factory kits for using the remotes.

TN65D is the tractor. I am aware of a NH kit for hardlining rear remotes to quick connects in a mid-mount location. I've talked to two NH dealerships. Both act as though they've never heard of anyone doing this. One even said he had been in contact with NH and had come up emptyhanded. They were really stumped when I suggested it was likely possible to simply change out the existing hardline for the newer two part mid-mount hardline found on most new TN's and move two of the rear valves to the mid-mount location. To me it's just a parts issue, a couple of wrenches, and a few hours....to them it's a total mystery (or more likely just not worth their time).

I am okay with flex-lines for right now. I can always do the mid-mount valve or connection at a later date if the flex-lines don't suit my fancy.

Was just wanting to be sure the flex-lines we're sized adequately.

Thanks

Ok, I was slightly off. The numbers I mentioned earlier were for 1/2" pipe. Here are recommended flow capacities for hydraulic pressure lines for both hoses and pipes based on a velocity of 20 ft/sec. I have no idea how that translates to psi but I usually consider these numbers to be the minimum for the given size hose or pipe. As a reference, my TD6 dozer is 20 gpm and uses 1/2" hose and 1/2" pipe.

1/4" hose = 3.5 gpm
1/4" pipe = 6.5 gpm

3/8" hose = 7 gpm
3/8" pipe = 12 gpm

1/2" hose = 12 gpm
1/2" pipe = 19 gpm

3/4" hose = 27 gpm
3/4" pipe = 33 gpm

I would go with 1/2" hose for a 12 gpm system.

Thanks Mad. Exactly the kind of good info I was needing.

1/2" it is
