Hooking up post driver

[jrchafin]

Hey guys,
I'm hooking a post driver to my 7520. It's a worksaver HD20, and the manual says that you can't hook the return line to the tractor remotes, I guess because they don't expect adequate flow to allow the driving ram to drop without resistance. The fitting for the return line on the driver is a 3/4", and the remotes look like 1/2" (correct?). Has anybody hooked a post driver to the remotes out there? Does it work?
If I have to plumb this in without the remotes, how would I go about doing that?

Thanks!
Jon

There are quite a few post's about these in the Hydraulics forum, a search of the term "driver" should turn them up...

The best way to plumb the return is to buy another fill cap for your tractor, and install a barbed hose fitting on it so you have a true, unrestricted "return to tank" line. Or you can just shove the return hose in the filler neck and seal with a rag or something...but that could get messy real quick.
