I've merged two identical threads here. Usually we catch duplicates before there are replies to one or the other, but apparently these twins slipped past us. The reason we discourage such multiple threads is that it can create confusion. Somebody reads one, or posts a reply, and later goes back to find something different than what they've read, or their reply seems to be missing. That's because it's in the other thread.
If this one now seems to be a bit out of order, it's because the replies appear in the order they were posted to the forum, without regard to whether they make sense in that sequence. I'm sure everybody will be able to figure it out.

Hopefully I've come to the right place for help on this. What I am planning to do is attach a Skidsteer Mulcher head on the loader of my 2008 Case 580 Super M Series 3. I know it's possible to attach the Mulcher head by installing a universal Skidsteer adapter plate... my questions are more about the hydraulics. I have the adjustable BIC rear auxiliary hydraulic lines installed that run onto the backhoe boom... I don't believe I have the front loader auxiliary hydraulics installed which is ok because from what I read in the specs for my Case 580 is that the rear Backhoe auxiliary hydraulics provide more GPM flow than the front lines do. Question is can I just buy a couple of long extension hoses and run them to the front to power the mulcher? And if so once I toggle on the auxiliary hydraulics will it constantly feed the head to whatever GPM setting I choose 0-36GPM ... I need at least 30GPM constant for this mulcher I'm getting. Here is a link to a video of a guy who did the same thing but on a Kubota Tractor
TIA
