✅ Installing Auxiliary Rear Hydraulics On A Bobcat Toolcat 5600 - DIY for ~$350

Here's how to add rear aux hydraulic with manual selector valve that switches between the dump bed and the aux ports. I installed this on my Toolcat 5600 for use with a UTV Hitchworks 3-point hitch. I used a metro 6-port hydraulic selector valve with a knob to switch between sending hydraulic flow to the dump bed or the rear 3-point hitch in my case. Mine ended up a little messier than desired so I might go back and redo the hoses with 1/4in hose and use the below suggested hose lengths (I used 18,18,60, 67 inches in a 3/8 hose size).

Suggested Hoses: 16in, 20in, 56in and 62in with 3/8 flare female on all ends.
Get 1/4 hose if possible but with 3/8 fittings
Fittings: 2x 3/8 NPT male to 3/8 flare male elbow
2x 3/8 flare T fitting
2x 3/8 NPT male to 3/8 flare male
2x 3/8 flare plugs for OE passenger lines
2x 3/8 NPT male to 1/4 NPT male: https://amzn.to/3yB8JwO
Desired quick connect style with 1/4 NPT female: https://amzn.to/3yCnkrL
This all cost me $200 at my local store
