B300 hydraulics

[capt_met]

hello,
i have a B300 bobcat. it is a great machine and amazes me every time i run it. it does have one downfall. i would like to run attaachments on the front that require low flow hydraulics. the way the B300 is set up the hydraulic flow goes up or down related to how much the throttle is pushed. so for me to have the flow up where i need it i would also be moving too fast forward or reverse for the machine. i have read the posts by mchalkley on his earthforce and plan on trying to follow his lead and install a pilot control valve to control the flow to the drive and control my engine and hydraulic pump output with the throttle for the backhoe. it would sure be nice to get in touch with mchalkley and get a tip or two from him on setting this up. otherwise i will just follow my nose and see what i come up with. i haven't seen mchalkley post in a while. if anyone knows how to get in touch with him i would appreciate any help. otherwise open to suggestions from anyone about how to best accomplish this.
thanks in advance,
metin

I just bought a log splitter for my Ingersoll Rand bl370 tractor it works great at just above idle. If the tractor is not moving you can push the engine revs up at the hand throddle. If you are moving and you need more rpm's you can push the button on the loader control to tempararly put the tractor in nuteral. To raise the rpm's. IF you are talking about raising the rpm's without raising the ground speed I don't know how to do that. David.
