Mustang 2050 Hammer

[RubenST]

I recently bought a Mustang 2050 (1997 model) from a dealer. As part of the deal, the dealer included a hydraulic hammer at no extra cost. He mentioned that I would need to install a free-flow return hose back to the reservoir.


After reading the manual and doing some Googling, I'm even more confused! One of the hydraulic connectors is labeled as a return— but is this a restricted return, or does it allow free flow directly back to the reservoir?


Also, just to clarify, the machine is not equipped with a high-flow system.


The manual does say that the machine can be used with a hydraulic hammer, as long as it's not connected to a high-flow circuit (which I don't have anyway—so no risk of that happening!).

Hope someone can clarify this for me

How many hoses are attached to the hammer, if it is a low flow unit it only has 2 hoses, all hi flow attachments have 3 hoses. all standard flow (low) flow attachments use 2 hoses and have no need for the case drain (3rd) hose, if the hammer u have has 3 hoses it is a hi flow unit u will need to add the 3rd return hose to operate the hammer.
with the loader being standard flow it may not work as well

The Hammer only has 2 connectors. Well i'm gonna hook it up and give it a try then Right now I'm trying to figure out why the machine is stopping when i'm using any of the hydraulics so i need to fix that first

Perfect should be good to use. is the engine shutting off, just using the bucket or the auxiliary couplers or both

It kept shutting down every time I tried to use any of the hydraulics while they were unlocked. I think I figured it out – the cable for the seatbelt sensor had come loose. But I managed to drain the battery while searching for the fault, so I'll see tomorrow once it's done charging.
I'll keep you posted!
Thanks for your advice and knowledge!
