hydrolic backhoe question will it work?

cc1840 · Jul 4, 2011

Hello please bare with me I'm a novice to Hydrolics
I have a old Brantly backhoe and want to put it on my case 1840
mounting is no problem
The brantley operates at 1800 psi dont know the gpm
my skidsteer puts out 15 gpm at 2300psi at the aux hook up
Is there an way I can use the aux hydrolics on the skidsteer to run the backhoe?
If so what do I need to get
thanks

G'day and welcome to TBN you should be able to plug straight into your aux hyd you will need to check that you have a relief in your b/h controls to limit it to 1800 psi if not you can fit them inline with a bit of plumbing. Gpm should not worry you as it will only affect the speed of operation. Good luck with it and remember we like pics of your projects
