JD mount vs.skid steer mount on FEL's

funny thing spudland, I had a very similar thought - though mine was orange! Prince makes pumps, and so do others. It doesn't seem that complicated to fabricate

I love my SS connect. I can flip the levers open, ddrive out, drop the bucket, pick up the forks, then get off and lock the levers. I still have plenty of lift capacity even with the extra heavy duty build of the bucket.

Even then....a buddy of mine and I were talking the other weekend.....IF I ever come across the "Deal too good to pass up" on a high flow SS implement I just had to have, I'd just fabricate a PTO Powered pump with adequate flow. Theres no reason a completely containted unit (Pump, Resevoir, Electric Solenoid Valve, etc)couldnt be designed basically identical to the Deere Ballast Box. iMatch and all

I have a pump and am tempted to do this. If someone knows of a ready made kit I'd be interested. Thinking of a skid steer snow blower.

SS Blower would be sweet...and I've thought the same thing. BUT, having have used a 3pt Blower with a FEL Mounted Straight Blade (Basically just a beat up old Fisher plow directly mounted to the FEL) has me thinking it might not be the best for me....with the FEL Mounted blade I can back blade the snow away from the buildings, etc...then whip the tractor around and blow it away.... That much less manual cleanup IMO.
