I am considering adding a "limb ninja" rotary cutter to the front loader. I have a set of unused remotes on the rear. The cutter requires a case drain. Anybody ever had to do this on one of these? Recommended tie in location? Recommended kit?

Case drain just need to go back to the sump, there are many different ways to do this.
The third function might have a port on it to tie into then you would just need to add a line for it.
I don't know of any kits to do it.

I'm finding that there are multiple ways to skin this cat. Ideally though, the implement will plug into remotes on the front of the tractor (not the loader) so that I do not have to snake and unsnake hydraulic lines each time I remove the loader. E.G. I bring the loader and Implement and Bush Hog to the site, trim the fence line with LN - then drop the loader and implement and get to it with the bush hog. I am trying to figure out the best way to accomodate all angles without having to route and reroute lines

ouch this is not as easy as I thought. Perhaps a filler cap with a threaded hole in the center? NIW do you know of a specific location I can find a port to return to the sump? Each one that I have found so far has a valve inside it. I like the idea of cutting into the cooler lines, but then again I really don't like the idea of hacksawing a line and sliding rubber hose over it to repair it. Would love to plumb into the rear remotes as normal and then disconnect the return and plug it straight into the fill hole when needed.....
The back PTO covers on both my M's have a cast in threaded boss in them with a pipe plug that goes directly into the transmission sump. Not sure if yours does but both mine have that.

NIW you are an encyclopaedia of knowledge here. Thank you. I am going to tackle this one in the AM. I do not like the idea of splicing into a rubber hose with a tee but that may be the only reasonable way to do it. I am assuming in the diagram that the smaller section of hose is the cooled fluid returning rather than the hot fluid headed to the cooler. I suppose the best side is the intake side of the cooler?
