Gumby6, congratulations on that new TC30. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif It looks like a little blue tiger, ready to jump all over your jobs. That Woods loader is sure to be a "beast."
I don't mean to put a damper on your excitement, but one statement you made caught my eye:

As I remember, the TC30 hydraulics can only deliver about 5.5 gallons of flow (that number is off the top of my head). I've never seen a hydraulic PHD that wasn't recommended to have at least 12 gpm for best operation. That means you will have to put a PTO pump and additional fluid reservoir to run a PHD properly. I could be wrong, there might be a mini PHD out there that runs on less flow, but I've never seen one. I'm afraid that if you get into some tough digging, the low flow from the tractor's hydraulic system will be insufficient. The cost of that type of system is too high to find out after you've paid for it that you cannot use it. Please check it out before you "take the plunge."
