How do I drain a Shaver HD10 into my tractor?

[kenojoe]

My 2017 New Holland WorkMaster 50 has no plugs,holes whatever to drain hydraulic fluid from a Shaver HD10 post driver. I would like to use one but am not sure about how big the return has to be. I spoke to the Service Manager at the Dealer and was told that they have used the threaded hole that is used for the Hyd. dip stick. That hole is only about 3/4 in diameter. So I guess I would only end up with about 1/2" for flow. Is that enough? What about the pressure when the oil is shot back into the case? The newer New Hollands all have a nice drain hole in back now. I have never used a post hole driver and would appreciate any advice. Thanks

Yes , plumb it into the fill using 3/4 hose and whatever fitting is needed to get into the fill hole on the rear end. I run mine just through the hydraulic outlets on the back using 1/2" hose, works fine, but performance might increase if I plumbed it direct into the fill hole.
