Plate for Hyd lines ??

DougM · Jul 13, 2007

Has any one made a backing plate so that you could make connections to the back hoe on a 2310 easyier???
Pull back push forward with a small quick disconet is not that easy to do.
I now have 300 hrs on it and am very happy with it ........

You must have read my mind, I took off my backhoe for first time and was wishing for the same. I had to cut wire ties under chassis, took out some slack to get to connections easier. My fisher plow has quick connects mounted on plates in grill on my pickup. The fisher quick connects have a slot and c-clip to mount in hole on a plate. Other snowplow dealers and aftermarket should have them. plowkingl

This is intriguing, but I have 2 thoughts:
1. There is no place I can think of to mount the plate.
2. These lines have to be connected together when not attached to the BH,
further exacerbating problem 1. (A simple loop hose would have to be completely clear of the 3pt. hitch at all times.)
Perhaps a diverter valve of some sort could be used for problem 2?

I don't know if it will help any or not, but here are some pictures of the factory PBY bracket that MF uses on larger compacts. If there is any place to mount it, you might be able to order one to use. I'm sure that there would be some amount of modification that would have to be done.

I have installed a diverter to be used like that before. Here is how I did it and the type of valve that I used.

I think this would work all that would be need would be a 12in long hyd line to be used when the back hoe was NOT on the tractor ....

The fittings goin' though the plate are called bulkhead fittings.
Got 'em at a truck shop..........JJ.

I put a hook on the opposite side axle housing and loop the hoses around it and it keeps the hoses out of harm way. It cost me $1.50 for the hook from the hardware store.
