3pt Dowforce on Case 1170? And hydraulic specs?

I want build a custom device on the back of the tractor to make use of the hydraulics. I will need to apply downforce to at least hold something in position without rising on the 3pt hitch. Can that be done? Never used the 3pt on the tractor but I seem to remember draft control but I have never seen a 3pt with power down? Any idea how much the 3pt can lift?


Also, I will need to use both remotes, actually more but I will make do. I need to get an idea of flowrate and pressure on these? I don't recall them being all that impressive but I won't need insane flow, just reasonable pressure. The more the better really.
 
Oh, I guess I might just ask if there are any easily to work with ports on the back of the tractor to just take hydro power from it and build my own valve system? I seem to remember the main hydro pump is actually coupled right at the back of the trans? IE, very easy to get to?
 
The only tractor I've ever seen with down pressure was a 560 Farmall with a fast hitch. If you're creative, you can make something work.

You could fab up a mechanical linkage with a double acting cylinder powered from a remote, and utilizing the top link bracket, but you need to make very sure the tractor's DOM control is mechanically locked in the lowest position, or the two systems will fight each other and more than likely blow the rockshaft housing off the top of the tranny.
What do you need down pressure for???

DC/SC 400-700-800 EH-730-830 all have down pressure, we had a Oliver traded in at the shop I think a 550 that had down pressure as well, also those Belarus tractors had it in the 70's
