Glad to help you out! There's lots of info out there on the subject, but very little specifics. Just make sure to order a spool valve with a detent so you can engage it and hop off the tractor to feed the splitter valve.Thank you for posting this! I have a 1996 1620 with a loader and front mount snow blower. I've been wanting to run a hydraulic log splitter and like you i I have been looking for a reasonable way to get a remote to the back of my tractor. This is awesome!
