So, I just bought a Yanmar 3 pt. splitter off of Craigslist. It looks like it has been maintained OK & was supposedly used this spring, but should I be worried about any gunk that might be in the cylinder before hooking it up to my tractor hydraulics?
As best I understand, the tractor hydraulic filter is on the low pressure side of the pump, so whatever is in the cylinder will get run through the system before getting filtered out. Should I get an inline filter to put in the return hose from the splitter, just to be careful? Is that even possible?
Would also love to hear from anyone with experience with a Yanmar-brand splitter- can't find anything online about them.
