Backhoe Hydraulic hookup for backhoe

[JohnInCA]

I'm installing a Bradco 408 on my TC29D. It does not have a PTO pump. I'm wondering if it's ok to hook it to one of my rear remotes, and run it by holding the remote valve open with a bungee. Any problems with doing this? Seems like a simple solution to avoid plumbing more lines from the loader manifold.

I don't see any problem as long as the remote can deliver full fluid flow.

Go to <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=implement&Number=95516&page=&view=&sb=&o=&vc=1>this link</A> from the end of last month. You won't be the first to use a bungee cord for that purpose.

No problem. I do this all the time with my bradco 611.
