OK guys I think I have this figured out. Please let me know if my logic here is flawed. I just purchased a 3 pt. hitch log splitter from Northern tools that operates from the tractor hydraulics. I have a 2003 TC-35D with 16LA FEL and 757-C BH. I could connect the log splitter hydraulics the same way the BH hydraulics connect, pressure coming from the connection under the FEL valve, and return to the fitting on the aft end of the tractor under the seat right side. But this would make the 3pt hitch inoperable since the fitting under the FEL valve is now disconnected. This is actually a safety feature to keep the lift arms from moving with the BH attached. Or I could hook the log splitter in series (press to 3pt is now press to splitter, return from splitter is now press to 3 pt) with the 3 pt hitch by connecting it to the connection under the FEL valve since this is a open center hydraulic system. This would work fine unless I tried to split wood and move the 3 pt hitch at the same time.
What do you think guys ? Is this the correct approach ?
Thanks...
