Economical Rear Auxillary Hydraulics

[screwpiler]

I'm needing to install rear auxiliary hydraulics on my S750 Bobcat. My local Bobcat dealership quoted me $4900 for the complete kit installed. The unfortunate fact is that I don't that much money to put towards that at this time. Do you know of cheaper options or maybe a less user friendly option that would be cheaper?

Very long hoses coupled to the front aux port and ran back. Apples to oranges, but a lot of guys do just the reverse on compact tractors to get front aux on their loaders.

That is my answer of last resort. I need the front auxiliaries for my pile motor but I think I could get by with using only one of the front or rear functions at a time.

Just run some T's into the front hydraulics and run new lines to the back. That or the first suggestion to use long lines and plug into the front hydraulics.

What do you plan to use these rear ports for?

I need to put rear stabilizers on. The reason I need rear stabilizers is so I can put more weight on the drill bit when drilling hard or frozen ground.

That is a very good reason to have them. Worst case, get a helper to use a bottle jack at the read of the machine when drilling.
I was drilling holes in shale for a shed, my dad put a bottle jack under the rear of the engine as far back as possible. This way I could push as hard as I could to cut through the rock.
