Question: Does the PTO have to be on for live system feed line to operate?

[@parkinsbikesandoutdoors]

No it doesn't.

I’m an 8N newbie that is working on an old early 8N. Sorry for this dumb question. Is there a practical use for the front mount hydraulic pump setup you put on for an 8N that never had a front loader? It looks like it just recirculates the fluid. Could I run a log splitter with it, like from a tee on the front? Thanks for a great video

​@@yogibeer9319if I'm understanding right. Your Wanting to run a log splitter off the same front mount pump used for the 3 point live power.
Ford 8N internal pump was only rated around 3gpm. A log splitter requires around 12gpm. My current setup won't run a log splitter. But you could get a pto driven hydraulic pump that could stay hooked to the log splitter with its own hydraulic tank.

@@parkinsbikesandoutdoors How would you need to set up the hoses to be able to hook up a hydraulic accessory like a log splitter? Would it just be a matter of putting a T quick connect on both the supply and suction side?

[@Schmidt_travels]

I would like to have live hydraulics and be able to hook up other accessories to those hydraulics.
