Yeah, I think the pioneer quick connects have a max flow of 12. Why run it off the thumb - do you have any other remotes? I find the front remotes REALLY useful if you don't have them, as you can run a lot of bobcat stuff - basically makes it into a big skidsteer. I'd tend to put the splitter on a FEL QA blank for ease of movement too.

Why?I dig full depth all the time with my 2 footer.
Yeah, I could dig that - big oak roots and boulders though I doubt. Its really convenient to have the auger on the hoe, but you lose a lot of horsepower by doing so - I forget the math, but I bet I'm running the auger off 1/3 the hp you are effectively (W.A.G)

Awesome :thumbsup:
Charles,
No, I don't have rear remotes.
I thinks its about 2k to add them or so. So I was figuring I could put quick disconnects to the thumb rod and use that instead. Are the factory also limited to 12GPM (i.e. are they pioneers)?

Charles,
Once you make a few holes you will really like that setup, I have a similar unit on my 110tlb and it works well.

This past weekend I just picked up a Mcmillen X1475 for my 110 tlb. Right now it is setup with a SSQA to go on the front loader, and the couple of "new toy" holes I dug with it went great, much better than a 3 pt hitch type I used before and I won't even mention how much better than digging by hand!!!
Have you guys ever used a hyd phd on the loader also? I am just wondering how it compares to on the backhoe? I need to line up some fun projects for winter, so is it worth making the swap? I would be making the mount myself.

Dude- I'm soooo jealous! I would love to have that setup. I'm about to dig about 150 or so holes for a horse fence and man that setup would be sweet!!! Very nice looking rig!

You can actually dig a foot or two with that thing? What, no rocks where you live? I'm fairly sure that I could never use an auger for anything.
Your machine does look pretty nasty. I am kind've surprised that you can run that rake up front though - I would've thought that 15gpm isn't enough.

Yeah, came rigged for the FEL. Backhoe is MUCH nicer, for obvious reasons.
