Getting back on my "backhoe build" project that started in Feb. 2004 for a BX Bota, now it's going on a B7510...think it's about time to get'erdone! looking through all my notes and instructions got a few questions.
being new to all this stuff...and spent way too many hours on this site lurking at hoe threads...3pt attachment issues...sub-frame builds. So, building a sub-frame for my 3pt designed hoe, finally got the design that I think will work with the metal i got in my shop.
#1. it states to use JIC#6 hoses, now looking at Surplus Center they have two hose sizes, 1/4 or 3/8 dia. I'm thinking with the 2" cylinders and a 5 GPM pump the 1/4" should be fine. my thinking correct?
#2. never used a backhoe before...So, what would be the best/most used pattern for controls to learn on....ISO or SAE or other?
Great Site!
