I brought home a WD yesterday with a trip bucket loader on it. The previous owner started putting 2 way cylinders on for the bucket. If I would change lift cyclinders to 2 way, my question is could I rig up a pump off the PTO to power a hydraulic pump off an old swather. I have a couple Owatonna and John Deere hydraulic pumps to choose from. Do you guys think it would work? would the pump have enough power to run the loader and bucket. Yes I would probally have to add an oil reservoir. Im interested in opinions has anybody out their done something similar? Thanks for looking.
