Here is my question:
Has anyone ever considered plumbing from the transmission drain fitting under the chassis to a filter to a fluid quick disconnect? If you did this, could you then add a PTO hydraulic pump from the quick disconnect to a “tee” in the standard hydraulic pressure circuit?
I basically want to put a 2nd hydraulic pump in parallel with the main tractor hydraulic pump so I can increase the flow to either the loader or a backhoe. I would want to use the transmission housing as the reservoir for the PTO pump. I am assuming that I would need to ensure the pressure relief settings are the same for both pumps.
I can not find any threads about this crazy idea. Has anyone heard of someone attempting to do this?
