I rented a Cat HM312 head from my ASV dealer. He didn't have a machine available with cab for me to rent with it. So I rented a cat 299d w/ hiflow XPS. Spent most of yesterday working with a cat mechanic to the pins for the quick attach to break loose. Finally got the mulcher on the machine around 3pm yesterday.

I start hooking up the hydro lines and run into a dilemma. The mulcher has 5lines coming off of it. 2x hiflow, 2reg flow and case drain line.

I got the lines hooked up to run the drum, my issue is the case drain line on the mulcher is a male connection, so is the output on the machine. Plus no reg hydro connections to run the door on the mulcher head. Am i at a standstill untill cat opens on Monday morning?

See pics below:

You must hook up case drain!!! Or you will blow seals.. You have a high flow a return then your case drain. Those must be hooked up. The two left over are for your door operation and you can leave then unhooked.

Well being both case drain connections are male, looks like I'm shutdown untill 2morrow morning.

You don't have two case drains, only 1 for the head motor. The other small lines should be your open/ shut lines for your door operation.
