 Topic: trip bucket to hydraulic?

I'm looking at a wd45 with a loader but no bucket. can I use the tractors hydraulic system to use the lift and a hydraulic dump? If so what all would I need?

The tractor hydraulics do not give any down pressure, it just releases the pressure and gravity does the rest. Might make the bucket a little less useful that way. Most times, a whole new system is added if you want it all hydraulic.

You could plumb in a double acting cylinder and valve to control the bucket.Have to get the right cylinder( high pressure,low volume on tractor). Won't be cheap to do, lines, cylinder, valve,fittings,etc. probably $500 and time.

What you need is a dual action spool valve. if the cylinders have fittings on the oppaset end from the supply you may be able to take out the vents and hose it to the spool valve. this would convert the cylinders from single action to dual action. then add dual action tilt cylinders to the bucket. this will require some fabrication and a bunch of plumbing. you can use the tractors hydraulic pump but the loader will work slow. you may want to add a high capacity pump. I use to help dad put loaders on tractors, we use to make loader mount brackets, hyd. pump mounts, spool valve mounts etc. we put about any loader on any tractor.

The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?
