Been away from the site for awhile - looks like I missed some action!
I'm planning on buying one of the Speeco, 3 pt. hitch; log splitters sold at Tractor Supply and have several questions for you. The splitter is sold without hoses (the hose connections to the splitter valve are included) and will connect to my DK55C.
What size hose do I buy?
What size and type (Parker/Pioneer?) male quick-connects for the hoses fit this tractor and are they a common type? (Will they fit other brands of tractors?)
Are hydraulic hoses generally available from tractor dealers or do you recommend getting them made-up online? If online, what's a good source?
What is the approximate cost for a set of hoses?
And finally; where is the valve for the remotes located on this tractor? I've never used the remotes, don't recall ever seeing the valve and I'm currently at work and can't look at the tractor or the manual.
Is there anything else I need to know to connect this splitter to the tractor?
Thanks for your help, PWR
PS Any comments on my choice of splitter will be appreciated!
