Hi guys, been a lurker but first post here.
I have had my Case 570 for a while now, mainly to maintain the road on my property. I really like it besides the fact it lacks a PTO. I know they have the BIC 8500 (Not sure if still available) for it but it is recommended that you avoid low speeds, has around 44HP PTO.
I have found a PTO kit that you attach to the auxiliary circuit on skid steers which has less power than the BIC, around 21HP PTO but within flow range of the Case.
I see that these loaders have an auxiliary on the loader control valve body and is rated between 12-28.5 GPM, is it possible to use that circuit to power a smaller PTO or is it not possible using it for constant use without overheating the hydraulics or some other issue.
The BIC is more than double the cost of the skid steer kit, and I don't need the entire kit so may be cheaper, and I am assuming the 12 GPM is at idle allowing me to use the PTO at idle in gear.
Hoping someone with more knowledge can lead me in the right direction.
