Ok, small amount of info out there on installing rear hydraulics.  My dad is a farmer, has a skid loader bucket that is small, want to make a rear loader approximately 30 inches in size(after cutting down the bucket) for the three point.  He has lathes, angle iron, welders, all the fixings to make a nice dirt scoop.  He also has extra hydraulic cylinders.  Would like to have him help me make a nice power activated dirt scoop which means adding rear hydraulics on my Yanmar 1300.  Since prior posts have talked me out of a front loader, would like this as an option.  What type of spool would I need, how do you install one.  Help would greatly be appreciated.  Would like to have the spool on while I then build the bucket.  Also, like prior threads have said, the Westendorf auto lift bucket that is PRICY, and too big.  If I am cutting a bucket down, what maximum size would you cut?
