Hello all,
I have just recently purchased a 3pt hitch log sptitter for my 1990 Ford 1320. I have a Ford backhoe for it and I thought i could run the hydraulics for the splitter through the backhoe hydraulics. It works well except for the fact that the 3pt hitch doesnt go up. So i have to hook up, drive to the site and the shut the tractor down and hook up the hydraulics. Kind of a pain but it works for now. I am currently seeking any suggestions. I went to my dealer and he said the auxiliary hydraulics would cost about 500 dollars to install. He said that guys who dont have a backhoe run the hydraulics of the fel bucket hydraulics, which seams to me to be an equally big of a pain. What do you guys think my best option is? Do you think the auxiliary hydraulics are worth it? Thanks Josh
