Could A PTO Pump Solve My Problem of Having No Tractor Remotes?

Mike answers a viewer letter asking whether a PTO pump can substitute for missing rear remotes. He explains what rear remotes are, how to add factory kits, and draws on dealership experience to walk through PTO pump trade-offs, flow rates, reservoir and filtration needs, front-mounted pump alternatives, and rough price points. He openly admits limited hands-on experience with the specific use case, making this most useful for beginners researching options rather than seeking step-by-step guidance.
