I really hate asking dumb questions, but i have a feeling that I'm about to. I recently bought a JD2240. Ive been using this tractor for a couple months now for odd jobs around the property, but have yet to really use the remote hydraulics in the rear. Im looking at a post pounder to use on the 3 point hitch. I have learned that the post pounder requires a larger diameter hose for the return line. Where do i plumb this hose into on the tractor?
I think i need to unscrew the plug that a 3/8 ratchet fits into and screw a hose fitting into the hole to attach the return line from the pounder. Next question, does it matter which quick connect port in the picture i attach the high pressure line from the pounder to? Either one will provide high pressure to the pounder, right?
Last question. I know that my tractor uses a closed center hydraulic system. The pounder has its own hydraulic control levers on it. Do those hydraulic controls on the pounder have to be specific to closed center hydraulic systems? Or does it make no difference at all and the pounder could be used on either an open system or a closed system?
