Got a FEL mounted to my B7000D, just wondering how to tap into hydraulics.

Hi Everyone,

Purchased a b7000d last year in great shape from a neighbor. First tractor with a PTO. My plan was to use it as a utility tractor in the shop, and large-scale mower for our 1-acre plot. I sourced a FEL for it last year, and finally had time to fabric the custom chassis mount last month. I'm now trying to figure out how to tap into the current hydraulic system, or somehow add another pump from the front pto. I have less than zero experience with hydraulics, so please don't shy away from pointing out any basics I may be missing here. Appreciate any input. Thanks!

Cheers,
Nick

On that model you will need to cut the high pressure hydraulic line and add fittings to the ends to tap into it for the Pressure and Power beyond.
Then you will need to add an adapter to the fill port on top of the transmission for the return line.
