Front Mounted Hyd. Pump for 5155.

[WNYBill]

Does anybody offer an after market Front Hyd. pump that is cheap and easy to install. I want to run front mounted skid steer attachments on my Mahindra 5155.

I am guessing you are looking at loader mounted attachments when you say skid steer attachments.

Does Mahindra offer a front pump for your tractor? If so, do they have a parts breakdown showing you all that is needed? That would give you an idea of what you need to find in the aftermarket. Is the front crank pulley built to accept a drive shaft or have provisions to mount a drive hub? Is there a path to run a driveshaft out the front and a place to bolt up a mount for a pump? Where are you going to mount a reservoir? Will you need an oil cooler for it?

I would look at building a skid unit to mount on the 3-point. Use a PTO pump, have a valve, reservoir, and cooler dedicated to this system for the skid steer implements.

I am afraid my idea is an impossibility.

The idea of running the loader mounted skid steer hydraulic implements is not impossible. It may be impractical with a front mounted pump on your tractor. As I posted a hydraulic skid would seem the best and easiest way, to me. In any case, cheap is not going to happen. JMHO
