Power beyond kit for 2305?

orlo · Feb 7, 2006

Hi: Does anybody know any aftermarket kits offered to route 'power beyond' hydraulic couplers to the rear of a 2305 (or a 2210 kit would probably work too).

I'm thinking (not sure yet) about a back hoe and maybe a 3pt log splitter and figure it would be silly for me to get both with a PTO pump. It would be easier to just have the couplers at the rear also.

Thanks,

It would be pretty easy to make if you are mechanicaly inclined.

Just install a Tee at the pump on the lines that go to the diverter valve(s) and run 2 hard lines or hoses back to couplers mounted on the rear.

Just make sure you use the correct pressure rated hoses, fittings and tubing, protect them from rubbing on stuff and DO NOT use teflon tape on hydraulics. If you need to use a sealant use liquid teflon.

You may be better off buying a pump if you plan on a splitter. The 2305 is a bit low on flow for that application. I haven't used a splitter that was hooked to power beyond, but word on this board is that you need 8GPM or so to keep from getting bored waiting for the wood to split.

If you buy a Woods backhoe, it comes with everything needed to get the hoses to the rear.

Thanks for the info about the splitter. I'll keep that in mind, I wasn't thinking about flow but if it's too slow off the tractor hydraulics it might not be very useful.

And I am thinking about a woods BH6000. I've been looking on-line at Wellensteins and Woods BH's and the woods seem a little more rugged and capable on the surface.
