i have a HD8 shaver driver. i have used it on a 656, until the pounder jarred something inside the hydraulic housing, and the 3pt went way up and stayed there. hope that doesn't happen to you. my 656 came off a veg farm in its previous life, so the 3pt may have been used (almost) to death.
to answer your questions:
1) DO NOT try to send the return oil through a remote outlet. it can't take the sudden volume. use the trans fill hole on the platform. just be aware that it probably won't be waterproof in a rainstorm. you don't want to contaminate the hyd oil with water. btdt.
2) on a 56 series, the bottom outlet gets pressure when you pull the hyd lever back, so i would call it the pressure side. if you hold the lever down, you would get pressure on the top outlet. (from your description of your loader hookup, i'm guessing this is how yours is hooked up?) but trying to lock the lever down without going into float is a little more difficult to me, than locking the lever back.
3) i would think the pounder still has oil in it from the previous user. still wouldn't hurt to check the level.
4) the 656 should handle the pounder well. make sure all the cat 1 pins are bushed to cat 2 where necessary. any slop in the mountng will take away some of the force of the pounder. i've never used a 10 but i've heard they were a lot more effective than an 8. make sure to use the little fork thing to hold the post in place when you pound. it might save a splinter or worse.
good luck. sure beats pounding them with a 14# mall.
