Hi all, I'm inexperienced with hydraulic operated equipment, and have just purchased a Bobcat 630. This machine came with a quick attach bucket but without any auxiliary doo-dads. The machine has a pair of hydraulic lines run out the hoist up to the plate area. These lines are capped off. I ASSUME those are pressure and return lines and that my machine is an open center hydraulic design. I want to be able to operate other attachments. I ASSUME that any attachment I choose must come with it's own dedicated open center valve(s), is that correct? If so, then for example I could purchase a log splitter and operate it at the splitter vs from the seat in the skid loader. But what about attachments I want to run from the seat, such as a clam shell bucket, rock bucket or root grapple? Is there a solution for operating those from the seat that I am unaware of? Please enlighten me and include links. I have tried searching, but it appears most information and videos are for new Bobcat equipment! Thank you, Rick
