Steve, is there a particular reason why you think a separate pump is better? Is the tractors flow rate low, low pressure or just ease of operation?
I do have a couple belt driven pumps that could possibly be converted to shaft drive from the PTO or Crank, just not sure if they would exceed what the tractor already has for flow and pressure.
My plan is pretty much what Goose wrote in his first paragraph with the open center valve that Bob confirmed for me.
I think I"ll try it that way first as adding the pump-etc. could be done later, will post up if it"s successful or not. Cylinder is 6"x24" long. Figure it will have plenty of power for splitting, just don"t want dreadfully long cycle times.
