Hydraulic return port location

[Up to the Axles]

nx5510 hst

Got a deal on a 3-point fencepost driver. You raise it hydraulically, when you release, it goes down as fast as possible.
To vent that fluid ASAP, it's got a 1" dia return line.

Wondering if there's a place on the 5510 to add a port to dump directly into the hydraulic reservoir?

Most plumb it into the hyd fill (remove the fill cap and add return line)....

Thanks. Will pursue. Also pondering if we can use it to split firewood....

There is a tank port on top of the transmission housing. You can tee into it. It is BSPP thread so you'll have to order the fittings if you don't have a dedicated hydraulic shop nearby. The return to tank line from your loader valve will be running to it. I'll try and take a picture of it later this evening when I get home and post it back here.

Thanks, that would be a big help.

Circled in red. This is being photographed from the right side imagine it directly below the seat.
It’s not under pressure so you could cut this hose and tee it with a brass or stainless hose barb tee and run a short hose to the back to connect to your pounder.

Looking at it from rear it is the line in red. Just remove your seat pan and you will be looking right at it.
