I have a question concerning hydraulic supply for changing the angle of a front mounted snow plow.
What I have:
Tractor - L5460 HST Cab
Backhoe - BH92
FEL - LA1055 (Has quick attach bucket Skid steer type quick connect/disconnect)
I have 1 set of rear remotes
I do not have any additional hydraulics run to FEL, just the 4 standard hydraulic lines.
I'm considering purchasing a front snow blade with a manual angle change. So far straight forward, and no problems. However, what I would like to do is add a hydraulic cylinder to the front blade to adjust the angle.
I could also purchase a snow blade with the hydraulic angel adjust built in.
Both options present the same problem no available hydraulic supply up on the FEL.
Here is my question, what are your thoughts on using the rear set of remotes to supply hydraulic pressure via hoses run from the rear to the front. Long runs I know. I also understand they would have to be protected from damage. Will this work? What problems will this approach present?
I understand that while using this set up, I cannot have the Backhoe hooked up to the hydraulic system. I found this in the Backhoe manual:
It is necessary to have the backhoe detached when using rear remotes, the 3-point hitch or any other valves that are downstream of the backhoe valve. Failure to do this may cause the exceeding allowable back pressure to break the seal or case of the backhoe valve. (Yes, this is the exact wording from the manual)
