G'day! New fella with a 3215 hydraulic question

[yeeehah]

Well it's been some time since I first stumbled upon this site, and it has been an excellent reference point for many things. So I guess it's well and truly time I joined up! I have a Mahindra 3215, and like most owners the first thing I did was add toolboxes and somewhere to sit my beer! We're on 6.5 acres just south of Perth in Western Australia so the next thing I did was make up a fire fighting unit to attach to the 3pl. After that a set of forks come crane jib was knocked up to make things easier around the place too. Gotta love that removable fel bucket!

Next on the list will be lighting on the rops, but before that I need to add a rear remote which will drive a hydraulic motor cement mixer. Which brings me to my first question on tbn!

I have found the rear hydraulic points under the seat but have only found 2.... I have a "P" and an "N" which are my 'line in' (pressure?) and 'carry over' (power beyond?) according to the manual I have for the loader which is on a different valve for the ML 437 fel.... So, yep, I'm kinda guessing on that one.

So my question is do I need to find a return line like the fel has? And if so does anyone know where it is??

Thanks very much and happy tractoring

Pete

G'day yeeehah, welcome aboard!
I'm not able to help out here but no doubt you'll get some answers soon. I like the sound of your fire fighting attachment, can you post some pics?

OK Ozykioti finally got around to pics!

Basically I just knocked up some 3PL forks with 50mm hitch atop, so that the pump and reel can be removed for other duties, servicing, etc.

The pump and reel base are alternating sizes for neatness. It's a small tractor but I can lift 700 litres of water, to save the hydraulic pump I lock it with the 3pl lowering speed valve.

I've also attached some pics of my fork come crane attachment. I will be making up a longer jib to install some patio roof trusses later in the year

Nice set up yeeehah, Looking at it I realized I have most of the stuff I need to make one myself, think that will go on the "to do" list for winter shed projects. Thanks for posting the pics, hopefully you never need to use it!
The jib will come in handy as well especially with all your available rear ballast
