I do use R1's; they are mandatory for my terrain and usage. I have successfully done a few 3,000 lb sod pallets, and 2000 lb pallets of flooring. They were kinda squishy but handled the chore. Pushing the envelope, but not a steady diet.

It routinely handles my 7.5 foot Curtis snowplow very well (which due to it's attachment system has a long angle moment).

Generally, most of what I plan will be close to the ground or resting on it (snow blower, auger, brush hog, so I am not too concerned. Your point nonetheless is valid.

I need to think of how and where I will locate the valve for the flow to the implement, and still access it from the cab (HSTC 5030). I have no rear remotes, so those slots are open, but I am not even Mr.Goodwrench's 3rd cousin twice removed.

Dangerdoc,

Have you made any progress in your thoughts regarding building a pto hydro system for skidsteer style attachments?

I was talking to a rep at Erskine today about that very thing, since I want to use their hydraulic front mount snow blower rather than the long shaft pto model. I suggested that they develop a turnkey product to provide skidsteer hydo capability to tractors.

I was thinking about setting up a system on a 3 point carry-all to include the 25 gallon resevoir, pump, hoses, etc.

The idea of opening up the utility of skid steer attachments for the tractor is enticing.

I've been thinking along the same lines as you RFB. Please post pix if you start building such a pump setup for a snow-blower, etc.

Here is one I did a few years back to power a rotary cutter on the FEL

 

[Farmerford]

OOPS. Here it is, I think.

 

[RFB]

Farmerford,

Sir,

That is right in line with how I envision the project. Can you elaborate on the setup including any potential problem areas?

Added: I found your older post with photos and am perusing that. Will followup after I brain stew what I read.

thanks very much for the direction.

Yeah, my first degree was in physics (Michigan State). Then EE. Science
has always been my "calling".

It looks like FARMERFORD has just the ticket.

As for the hyd valves, since you have the cab version of the L5030, it may
be a challenge locating an aftermarket 1-spooler or 2-spooler. The factory
slots are for the integrated remote levers that use the tractor hydraulics.
I highly recommend that you get at least one rear remote that uses the
tractor's hyd system so you can at least get a hyd toplink. This will make
all rear implement mounting much easier. As for the valve for your PTO
system, normally I would put such an aftermkt valve on the rt fender or
rt rear ROPS post. With the cab, you may have to look elsewhere.

If you build something like FARMERFORD's, you might also consider
incorporating some ballast into it. Maybe cast the base out of concrete?

As for AG tires, nothing has their traction and I miss that. My main tractor
now has R4s and traction is WAY less, but they support much more weight.

Good luck!

I was out plowing snow all day. Started at 0900, finished at 1900.

Kind of funny; all day I was thinking of your ballast question and I thought: I can make a cast concrete ballast with a horizontal draw bar with integral pins, and a top link attachment point) as ballast for the rear of the tractor and to function as the pump system platform. My next thought is to also cast embedded bolts into it and then cover the top of the concrete with marine grade plywood as the work platform.

Then I checked this thread and you mentioned a cast concrete ballast.

I told you that your were a physic.

Here's a discovery, and a very clean install:

I will be calling them tomorrow regarding the 24 gpm hydraulic pump and tank product.

That's exactly what I'd like to do. Let us know what you find out. It looks like I'd need to make a quick-hitch adapter; but I'm used to doing that anymore.
