I am ready to pick up a B7800/FEL 60" bucket with folding ROPS/Mid PTO package and R4 tires. $22,000Cd. Sounds expensive EH! Well don't forget I am in Canada.My question is, Is it possible to use the Mid PTO (2500RPM) to power a hydro pump setup, so I can have aux hydro?

This is my first tractor and I am wicked excited, I have a lot of addon Ideas since I work at a company that produces custom electronics for most large companies. Eg, All Bobcat Electronics are done by us, right down to the components on the mother boards. Ever seen a Bobcat with Keyless entry? Check out some of the products we make

Zippy; I'm going to do the same thing to my 4410, I have all the componets on hand but time has been short lately. I've never looked at where the mid pto is located on a Kubota or how much room there is around it to mount things. So make sure you have room to put a universal joint shaft similar to what would power a mid mount mower, I would'nt advise mounting the pump directly to the pto shaft, been there done that, any slight mis alingment wears expensive things out real fast. I've did a lot of work with hydraulic motors, pumps, etc. It's not that hard to figure out what you need so far as a pump long as you know the displacement per revolution, operating rpm etc. Bring up "The Surplus Center" site, call their tech line they've allways been real helpfull so far as matching the equipment you need for the job you want to get done. There was a thread on the board just a couple weeks ago that got into this pretty deep, lots of good ideas there too, check it out. Best of luck, Frank. ....
