I just mounted a Woods 6500 backhoe on my Ford 1520 copact tractor. I called the Ford Dealer and they told me to just connect the two lines from the backhoe into two of the lined that go from my hydraulic manifold to the loader (7108) controls. The block has three lines that go to the loader: inlet, outlet and return.
I had two hoses made up with a tee and disconnect to connect to the backhoe. I connected one line to the outlet and the other line to the inlet. I also tried swapping inlet and return. In both cases neither the loader nor the backhoe work unless I pull a lever on eathier unit. When I pull a lever the other one will work just fine. I disconnect one line for the backhoe and the loader then works fine. Seem like the backhoe must have open flow such that it is robbing fluid from the loader. Seems like there is only one other option which is to connect the backhoe to the inlet and return line but just doe not make sense since it seems I would need the outlet (power) line in order to get pressure.
Not sure if this helps but when I put the loader valve in the float position the backhoe has slight movement but not enough to do anything.
Thanks in advance
