Hello all!
Last year I grew tired of the flow given by the hydraulic pump on the tractor so I installed a PTO pump to run the back hoe. I could not figure out a place to install a tank on the tractor itself so I installed a tank on the bh. Not wanting to starve the pump and in a little hurry to enjoy 9 GPM instead of 4.5 I just connected the tank straight to the pump with a 1" suction hose.
Now, twice this year alone I removed the BH. So I also had to remove the pump. This is a pain since there is no room between the BH and the tractor to pull off the pump. I have to move the tractor a couple inches many times after the BH is off. Also, no room to install longer hoses...
I have a quick connection on the pressure side and I wonder if there would be something availlable for the suction side. This would allow the pump to be used with other implements I have or planning to get sooner or later.
in the mean time, if somebody have a good idea on where I could install a 15 gallon tank on a kubota L1802DT (I did'nt know it was a gray market when I purchased) I would be more than happy.
