I bought a 7610 orchard model that had been used by a mowing company with a mid mount tiger boom and front hydraulic pump. The setup they had on it was with an auxillary hydraulic oil tank mounted in place of front weights and another on the offset for the mower.

I'd be concerned about plumbing directly into the tractor system to feed an aux pump. Thats a lot of extra heat from the pump and whatever its running that would be dumped right back into the main system. I dont know about a 4610, if it has a hydraulic oil cooler or not but for sure I'd want one on whatever my return line was. For example, its unreal how hot, how fast the hydraulic fluid gets on my skid loader where a common resorvoir feeds both the main drive pump mounted on the back of the engine and the lift and tilt pump on the front as compared to in my dozer which has two resorvoirs, one for each pump.

With that said, if you dont think heat will be a problem I dont see why you cant plumb into the transmission drain plug for inlet and then back into the transmission fill plug for return.

Returning oil back into the fill plug may not be the best choice. The stream of returning oil will carry air into the transmission oil as it "jets" back into the "pool". High volume returns should re-enter the sump below the oil level to prevent air entrainment. Low volumes (examples, return from a pilot valve, motor case drains) can be anywhere in the sump.

If your going to install a front mount pump, also install a hyd tank to supply the oil to it.

Go to the New Holland web site and they have a drawing of the kit that you need to do what you want to do. It"s in the 4610 Parts manual. I believe there is a hydraulic manifold you have to install below the seat and the resupply and return lines go into that.
