I'm considering using an 8 ft Fischer snowplow from my truck on a Bobcat skid steer. The hydraulics on the Bobcat far exceed the capability of the truck and plow hydraulics. I need some kind of hydraulic interface arrangement that safely accommodates the plow equipment when mating it up to the Bobcat's hydraulics. I want to use the Bobcat's internal thumb-actuated external hydraulic control switch to angle the plow left and right. I don't want to modify the plow side as I want to be able to readily move the plow between truck and skid steer. The Bobcat's internal hydraulics will be used for lifting the plow using the Bobcat's lift arms. My first cut at this problem is shown in the diagram at the link below. I would appreciate any comments if this would work or not, or ideas if I should to look at other arrangements.<a href="http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/1262/plowhyd2.jpg" target="_blank">http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/1262/plowhyd2.jpg</a>Thanks,Rod</blockquote>
