Can I connect the Case Drain to the return line? I'm suing a hydraulic motor from a Heston Haybine to convert my bush hug to hydraulic so I can use it with my Skis steer. I want to properly take care of the 3rd line in order to to ruin my motor.
I'm not sure if I can find a case drain on the skid. If so, still would be a hassle having another hose.
Please advise.
Thank you

If you want to get maximum protection for the hydraulic motor you need dedicated case drain line. Lots of return circuits have too much back pressure in them.

Simple answer, no. Refer to above post.

What skid steer are you using? Many skidsteers that have the flow to do what you want have a case drain connection

I'm going to use a hydraulic motor removed from a Hesston Haybine to convert my bush hug to hydraulic driven.The Hesston motor has 3 fittings.
