Hi Dan I'm getting to grips with the power beyond/ hydraulic circuit on my tractor. I can see where to take the feed from my loader, no problem. But some systems also have a return to tank from the valve, which you do not seem to have, can I ask why? Also do you have a spec for the valve, and...

Thanks, looks neat, will look them up

Great, that all makes sense, looks like I need to digest this and come up with a shopping list. Thanks for your help Dan

Yes, not rocket science! There is a bank of valves for the tilt x2, mast and the weight.

Yes, would be easier, 'cept I'm in the sunny UK.....

The post driver is a Protech P30 Inline. Yes, once in position I had figured I would need to 'switch' the hydraulics to the post driver operation. I'm not bothered if the loader won't work with the post driver. Apologies, I'm replying to both posts.....

Thanks Dan, that looks like a solution. I'm not too familiar with tractor hydraulic systems (as you've guessed!), and would ask why I can't still use the return I have straight back into the 'tank'? Where did you take the feed from? Sorry, didn't mean to confuse things with a new thread, thought...

Hi Dan, Sorry, replied before I saw this! Because I need the link arms up to get the hydraulic flow, so can't lower them and work the post driver

Thanks, yes, that seems to be the way it works, which is a problem as I can't lower the post driver and operate it. The post driver needs to be controlled independently of the link arms, so I need another solution.

Does anyone know where I can get one of these for my L3200? It's to attached a post driver that needs flow and return. Thanks a lot

I've worked out I need a dedicated rear hydraulic valve, so I'll use a new post to see if someone has one.

Here are some photos

Thanks for your reply. Yes, that's correct- I can't get any flow from my tractor connection. It's a hydraulic pipe for a tipping trailer -I'll post a picture to help.

I have an L3200 and have bought a post driver that uses the tractor hydraulics for operation (tilt, mast, etc). The tractor has the tip trailer pipe and a return valve, and I've connected the two hoses (flow & return) to these. The problem is I can't find a way to divert the hydraulic fluid to...
