I would think so might have to restric the flow off yo aux or slow the engine down if it is to fast but lets see what others have to say

You do not need High Flow to operate a backhoe attachment. I have a Bradco 609 that I use on my 763C.
When you connect it to your loader, be aware that the hydraulic flow must be in the correct direction through the backhoe attachment. It will not work correctly if the loader is trying to flow it in the wrong direction. You can swap the couplers where you connect to the loader to reverse the flow through the backhoe attachment.
The 609 is actually too heavy for this loader, however it operates just fine. When moving, I crowd the stick and boom all the way in and swing it all the way to one side. It is definitely nose heavy and I try to keep it on fairly level ground when traveling. You can also leave the stabilizers just off the ground when moving on a cross slope.

HI, I hope I'm not stepping on any toes by not starting a new thread. I have a case sr200 and just bought a Bradco 509, new to skidsteer stuff. The guy I bought it from loaded it on my trailer with his Bobcat and pulled up the outriggers just fine. I unloaded it with my Case, I went to hook it up to my aux couplings and could not get the unit to move at all, any of the functions. After 4 hours of trying to find hydraulic diagrams on the web with no luck I switched the coupler ends and found that it would now work with the idle raised about half but slowly, If I idle it up more it will work faster but still not enough to lift my unit up with the outriggers. NOW im thinking I should check the filter on the backhoe to see if it is clogged. Any thoughts or suggestions? The unit is very clean and doesn't appear to be previously abused .
