Power Beyond Port

[PRranch]

Does anyone know if a power beyond port exist on a 4500 Industrial tractor. I would like to add a mower attachment to the front end.

No clue. I would bet you don't have near the hydraulic flow to do it, so it would be moot anyway. Find another way.

A Ford 4500 industrial has 23gpm on the loader circuit. That might be enough to run a mower. I'd do the calculations first (or look up the mower manufacturer's recommendations) before going down this road too far.

The PB line should be a line from the loader valve to the rear 3pt. Often the 3pt cylinders are in the transmission case, at the very back.

You may want to add a rear remote valve that has a detent and a motor spool. The mower manufacturer should say what sort of valve to use.

I stand corrected. Seems like enough flow.

I found an old thread that might be helpful...

Often the simple answer is backwards to what you are inclined to think.

By a new control valve with a power beyond port.
Install the new control valve BEFORE your other control valves and feed the old valves from the power beyond port on the new valve.

My old Ford Industrial tractor with loader had a completely separate hydraulic system for the loader. The pump was in the very front of the tractor, powered by a jack shaft from the crankshaft. The tank was an integral part of the loader.
