Homemade Log Splitter Hydraulic Diagram

[unixkid]

I'm going to attempt to attach a diagram to this post, if it is successful please comment on it pertaining to: it won't work, will work, this should be changed, your forgetting about this, etc.

I left the cylinders out for now.

Thank you,

That should work . Everything looks correct.

you might consider a filter base that includes a filter bypass over a preset pressure. that way you dont blow up the filter on those 0 deg F mornings when you want to go out and split some wood and that 30wt oil is the consistiancy of molasis.

Did you look at this on the auto valve?

I did not see them but they are something I've been looking for. I saw a similar one for a regular valve on another website but not one for the autocycle valve with the explanation on its workings. Thanks for the links, I saved them locally to my hard drive for future use in case my internet connection is down.
