Hydraulics

Hi my digger has a 1" flat face quick coupling and a 3/4" coupling (im assuming the larger is return?

 

I have an auger from my Kanga skid steer I want to mount but that has 2 x 3/4" pipes,

 

should I fit a 1" coupling to the auger, or change the coupling on the digger to 3/4" couplings. Ideally I want to use the auger on both digger and kanga, and the other attachments on the Kanga are all 3/4" hence (ideally) not wanting to change kanga fittings.

I would make up a short length of hose with 1 inch connection for digger and a 3/4 for auger,and leave both machines alone in case you want to fit other hydraulic units to them.

larger is usually the return change the fittings to 3/4 as they are cheaper and its unlikely that a mini digger needs an 1" coupling for the amount of flow that the pumps produce
