Where to pipe in front loader for best pressure

Just because it's a 5610 doesn't cover all the bases. They were offered with different hydraulic configurations, some better for loader use than others. Without knowing what you're working with, no one can give you a correct answer.

Ford 5610 that I owned many yrs ago until it accidently caught fire & burned had closed center load sensing hyd system. CCLS requires attaching FEL control valve with a load sensing line to tractor hyd system which is different than open center hyd system.

Want to thank you guys for getting back to me on the ford 5610 . I’ll try to take some pictures of the hyd. system that’s on it tomorrow and put them on here.
Thanks Jack

MOST likely it's an open center center system, but it could have either one or two hydraulic pumps. One internal and one engine driven. A quick walkaround and some photos from different angles would be needed to identify just what you have. Also what (if anything) does the loader come with for hydraulic controls?

Get the 'true' model number stamped into the RH bellhousing ear behind the starter too.
There were 5610, 5610 II, 5610S's, but the picture of the rear, hydraulic lines under front of seat will explain alot.

By the way, welcome to TBN!

Got some pics for you guys if I can figure out how to send them.

Here’s a picture of the serial # I have been trying to find out if there’s another high pressure outlet on that unit under the seat or around that area . I have had the loader on for many years but had it hooked into one set of the quick disconnect units in the back. I have the loader off now so I could put a new clutch unit in the tractor. Thought this would be a good time to free up the back spool

Series 1 5610 manufactured in Michigan, May 21, 1986. It has the CCLS or closed center load sensing system. A hydraulic outlet sandwich plate can be added to the unload valve in front of the seat, but, as mentioned in other posts, it will only make available one pump rather than both. There are some other ways to plumb to get both pumps as previously demonstrated in other posts.
