I have a Kubota B1550 With a FEL. Front end loader works great. I purchased a Toro Dingo backhoe and modified it to fit. I hooked the hydraulic lines (2) with tee's between the tractor pump and FEL. I have fluid flowing to the backhoe but doesn't seem to pressure, Any idea what I have wrong ?
Thanks Ronnie

random questions....
got any 'links' to the 'toro dingo backhoe' model / specs/ installation ??
Your tractor only has 5.5 GPM @ unknown pressure ,might be an issue ?
Is tractor pressure connected to IN of 'BH hydraulics' ?

You cannot put a tee in a pressure line. Fluid will always take the path of least resistance so youll have flow but no pressure. You need to come off the power beyond of the loader to the backhoe and then from the backhoe back to where the power beyond hose connected back to the block to feed the 3 point hitch
