Hugh,
The Fisher pump was engineered for the plow. I think it flows three gallons per minute. The IH pump flows five times as much.
At the time, I was determined not to spend alot of money. On the whole project, I only bought one hydraulic fitting and shortened two hoses. A few sticks of 7018 too.
I wanted to conserve the IH valves. The tractor has a 560 fast hitch and a set of remotes. Although I have a bunch of IH valves, I didn't want the hassle of adding a third valve and trying to locate a lever. Ya, I could have used the remotes but we are back to a high flow thru a Fisher valve with 3/8" ports.
Everything works well and I wouldn't change anything except blade length which is currently eight feet. The plow frame is easy on/easy off in under ten minutes.
I'd like to get an 11' blade and add chains. A weather break would be nice.
