Hydraulics for county line log splitter and John Deere 5100e

[halfwayhome]

Can any one give me a tutorial on getting my log splitter to work from the splitter control handle. I can get it to work if I'm in tractor holding lever back and assistant at splitter controlling that lever. I need it to be a one man operation. I am over looking something. I don't know what it is. Thanks in advance.

Bungee cord

Has to be a better solution.

Nope 'fraid not unless you have a "power beyond" connection for something like a three point hitch backhoe. Bungee cords work well for 3 point splitters; I have had one for years. w jones

Change the tractor valve to one with detent or maybe add detent to the valve you have. You can place it in detent and it will be the same as you holding it in.

My Power Beyond has a lot more GPM than my third valve and bungee cord. Splitter runs a lot faster.....

Does your tractor have a loader? If so, use PB hose.

You could install this valve in the line/hose going to the 3pt ,and feed the 3pt or the log splitter and run the log splitter OUT hose to tank.

Controls two hyd circuits.

Simple, easy and convenient.

1/2" NPT 20 GPM PRINCE SELECTOR VALVE

Pull knob for other circuit.

I do have a loader. I have a triple mid valve that I control grapple and loader with from joy stick. I have two rear remotes. Thank you for you response. I appreciate it.

You can add this Power Beyond kit, its designed to feed a rear implement that has it's own control valve like a backhoe or log splitter.
