I posted this question earlier with no replies, hopefully someone can answer weather this is going to cause harm to the tractor or not. I want to buy a wood chipper with hydro feed. I dont want to spend the money to have rear remotes installed if they are not needed. Is it ok to plug this into the backhoe ports?? I did this with a log splitter and has worked great. When I had told the dealer that this was the plan to run the hydro's on the chipper they suggested to have rear remotes installed, said something about by running it through backhoe ports there is no relief valve. Didnt know if it was just a way to sell me the remotes. You can adjusted the speed of the rollers for the auto feed on a controller on the chipper. Was wondering when i turn the flow down if it is going to cause the hydro pump to over heat because the flow is being restricted, and cause it harm. But on the other hand i am not sure this would be different if it was to run through a set of rear remotes. Pretty simple but yet complicated to explain. The tractor is a kubota L45. Any help would be great!!!
