I came up with a wild idea that if I took my imatch from my old Yanmar and mounted it to the front of my John Deere 317 skid steer loader that I would be able to not only use the tractor implements I currently own but also be able to purchase 3 point implements in the future. Then I figured that if I am already spending the money on a SSQA adapter plate that i might as well get a hydraulic gear box so I can run PTO driven implements such as a 3 point bush hog this summer to keep the brush down. For a while i was short on funds but today I finally ordered the SSQA adapter plate and purchased some category 1 lift arm ends to mount the imatch to. Now i am to the point where i need to order the hydraulic gear box and I had some questions. Here are the ones I was looking at:
Surplus Center - 7.63 CU IN PTO DRIVE MOTOR
Surplus Center - 9.59 CU IN PTO DRIVE MOTOR
Here are the specs for my 317:
Compare Specifications Setup
Will this gear box work on my 317? Will there be any problems with too much power coming from the Deere? Is there a better solution? I plan to purchase a 5' bush hog this summer to mow brush with the 317.
Any advice is welcome, I know there are some members on here that know a LOT more about hydraulics than I do. Thanks guys! I will have the blank SS plate next Wednesday and pictures of the build will follow. :thumbsup:
