Case 1170 running hydro motors? Will it work?

I am working on a custom water well rig to be run on the back of the tractor. I am not yet sure if the hydro system can be run off the tractor system or not though.

I need to run a hydro motor for my rotary drill, and another hydro motor for the lift system. I am not sure what pressure the 1170 operates at but I had some thought to use the remotes to operate these two functions.

I also had an idea to tap the hydro line going to the remote block which should be constant pressure and add a quick coupler there and add a valve block on my drill rig. There is a 5th remote connection on the tractor which I believe to be a "case drain" for a hydro motor in which should work well for a return line. However, if I need reverse, this will all need more thought.

IIRC, a hydro motor has two pressure ports plus the case drain, just like a hydro pump? Reverse would not technically be needed but unscrewing drill stem would be sweet with that.
 



I am not yet sure on GPM or apparent load to the motor. I am still trying to determine what torque and rpm is required. I do now that a lot of motors run at well over my desired speed which would probably be 50-100rpm. The motor may not have to be all that big with that kind of torque amplification.

I do have a complete hydro pump, tank, motor system on my hydro swing that just runs perfect but certainly does get too hot to touch. Not sure why a tractor would care either way but I don't want to hurt the tractor for sure!

I just cannot get over the cost of these PTO pumps! I am not sure what the capacity is of the one on the hydro swing but it SWEET! Cute and runs a decent size hydro motor that runs the reel, sickle bar, and conditioner rolls. I would think that would be plenty! Just need to find one cheap enough if I need to go that way.

I do have thoughts and plans to mate this to a smaller tractor for pro services in tight spaces where typical well rigs cannot get. I know I can get business just by being the go to guy for backyard wells.
