POST DRIVER ATTACHMENT

Hello,
I just went through all this on my tractor. Definitely go with the zero pressure connection to your reservoir, not with a low pressure line return. Low pressure quickly becomes high pressure when you are dumping that quantity of fluid in a split second. Your ram won't deliver the maximum force if it's fighting any pressure at all. Also, keep an eye on your hose fittings, and avoid constricting the flow smaller than 1/2". In other words, choose a return hose that will have fittings with a minimum of 1/2" orifice.

Thanks Walter63,
I took the reservoir filler cap (plug) to a machine shop and had them drill a hole on the top and tap it. I then had a new hose made that connects the Shaver driver to the plug. The hose is 3/4" and there is little pressure when it "dumps". When not in use I can remove the hose and connection in the filler plug and simply replace it with a (pipe) plug.
The hose and fittings were the most expensive part of the project.
Thanks again for your reply.
