On my MT180 , under the seat left side, there is the hydraulic connection for the 3PT mechanism.
Sandwiched there is an accessory block to take hydraulics to a loader valve or whatever.
Since I have a second pump installed for the FEL that block is unused most of the time except when I attach an accessory via the 2 short hoses and quick connect fittings.
Not knowing any better I always leave the fittings connected to each other to make a loop (like always open circuit) to return pressure back to supply.
The question is: could I plug these 2 ports or have permanantly mounted quick connects neatly mounted on a bracket rather than the now messy coiled hoses that I leave connected.
Or otherwise stated is this block an open circuit device.
I was always afraid that if plugged pressure would build up and that I be reyling on bypass valves to prevent damage.
