250 front loader hydraulic pump

[alan8three73 0]

Hi folks...

I have a D-250 with a hydraulic pump and 4-way hookups in the front

for a plow. The hydraulics work great for the plow. I also have the

Front loader which has it's own hydraulic pump... just with 2 hoses.. hi

And low pressure im assuming. My question is can I connect the

Front loaders hoses to the pump that's already installed for the plow?

I see the top of the plow pump has two plugged outlets... does anyone know

If I can use those for hi/lo pressure lines of the loader? Id like to

Have the lines installed there to make it easier to use the loader when

I need to and not have to swap pumps.

Pics attached... installed pump (black one) has 4 way lines for plow hookup

.. plow has up/down pressure and left/right. Red pump is the one hooked to

the loader.

Can I move the loader lines onto the plow pump?

Thanks

Very interesting idea.

The FEL pump appears to be one of the cessna pumps very much like the one on my FEL. I believe that they are rated at 1000PSI.

A lot of what you propose depends on the pressure and flow rates required to operate the attachments. Obviously, you can't exceed the rated pressure for each attachment, so you will need to know what pressure the plow is supposed to operate at. If they match, then you could probably get away with it.

If the flow rate is not enough, the attachment will just move slower, but no damage will be done.

Do they both use the same operating fluid (motor oil or hydraulic fliud)?

You should take a close look at each of the pumps for make/model and see what you can find on the internet.

NO you can't use the tractor hydralics for the loader.

Those are not ports there the relief valves, there set to low for a loader

Instead of changing the pump just add another D 250

Hehe @baerpath! I'm actually getting rid of one of the D-250's the front loader came off of! I have 3 of these, and the last one has 4th and 2nd gears missing. My other 2 are in much better shape so i want to see what needs to be done to mount and unmount the loader only when i need it. Aside from being heavy as heck it's not terribly bad of an install. I'm probably gonna keep the frame mount on the quick attach on since i wouldn't use this for mowing ... just either plowing or FEL.

That's a great point about the pressure out of the cessna vs. the bosch. I'll do more research and find out. I also think the cessna is meant to mount onto the front PTO as the hydraulic lines are way too long to be mounted next to the motor as it was previously. I see the mounting cracked is all chopped up too - like it was meant to go on the front pto but modified to work next to the motor. I'll look into making it fit against the front pto so it could truly be a quick mount and i wouldn't have to touch the bosch pump at all.

thanks!
