Backhoe Hydraulics- PB vs. Rear Remotes

[F1520]

I'm getting ready to add a backhoe to my 1520 and I have a question about backhoe hydraulics that I haven't seen answered here already. I understand the usual way that backhoes are hooked up by diverting the flow from the PB port on the loader control away from the manifold block, to the hoe, and then back to the return port inboard of the right rear wheel. Thanks to all, especially RickB :thumbsup: for many informative posts and pics on this topic.

Is it possible to run hydraulics to a backhoe such as a 757B from the rear remote ports? Can the two hydraulic lines from the backhoe simply be connected to these remote ports?

Specifically, I'm wondering about the two plugged ports on the underside of this block that are visible in the inspection mirror, and in the second pic with the remote lines installed. If these lines are already there, is it simply a matter of connecting the QDs from the backhoe? And if so, which one is pressure to the hoe and which is the return?

Thanks!

I have a 2006 New Holland TC45A and I attach an old (early 1960's model) Kelly backhoe. I just plug the QD from the backhoe into the rear remotes and it works fine for me. I use a bunge strap to hold the lever back for power to the backhoe, and the 3 point doesn't work while the lever is held back by the strap.

Yep, I got it. Got to bungie the lever "on" for the remotes for continuous flow to the backhoe controls. Hm.... I can have a set of remotes and a convenient place to hook up the backhoe. I think I'll talk to the dealer and see what the price is on a rear remote kit. Thanks for the reply.

dealer list for rear remote kit $867.10. Little to much for me being I don't have any implement to use it with at this point.
But do want to add it at some point. I could have borrowed a friends pre-seeder if I had it.
