log splitter off FEL pump

If you tap into the curl either with quick connects for simplicity of change hoses (recommended) your curl function of the bucket will be non existent while that hose is disconnected. Also you will have to keep that valve in the curl position in order to have flow to the splitter. This is doable, but adds a control valve that is located away from where you are working with the splitter.

Using power beyond removes the valve controls of the loader. You could mount hoses as rear remotes. Depending on your loader valve, you will need a jumper hose to complete the flow of the hydraulic fluid back to the tank. If it is a separate tank from your tranny for your loader, be certain you take the return to the correct tank, bad things are likely to happen if you deplete one tank and overfill another.
Using power beyond or taping into the supply to the loader valve means only the control valve to the splitter is needed.
If bypassing your loader valve, there are several things to consider.
1) can your pump run both at the same time?
2) can you work with only using 1 (loaded or splitter) at a time!
3) if splitter circuit is connected all the time (Tee type plumbing) it must be a continuous loop (jumper hose installed) when splitter is not connected.
If you decided to send all fluid to the splitter by using quick connections on the loader’s supply and tank/return hoses, realize the loader will not function while these are disconnected. Also realize that fluid must flow constantly, meaning if neither the splitter or the loader are connected the supply and return lines must be connected to one another.

There are several ways to get hydraulics to the splitter, you just need to tell us what and how you want the splitter to function and if you want the loader functional at the same time.

Good luck

Power beyond does not disable the loader function on my MF203 industrial with the MF loader. I converted mine to mount a John Deere backhoe by doing just that and it works just fine

Personally I would explore the "power beyond" option as it give you more versatility on how you can connect splitter into tractors system

Is this where that might hook up? If not does anyone know what this would be for? Thanks everyone for your time. View attachment 672134

This port is an optional return to tank port (see page #20 on post #7), not a place to tap into power beyond, reread post #6 for the correct port adapter plug.

If I was to guess that may be a pressure relief setting...............

Only issue with using power beyond as his source is it will require the loader to be on the tractor to have that available.
That may be a nonissue for the OP. But that is for him to decide. However no one supporting using power beyond points this limitation out! Shame. For a grapple who cares it will always be used with the loader, but a splitter he may want the option.
This us the main reason I brought up using the supply and return lines!

If you notice, that loader ain't coming out anytime soon. Unless the OP needs to replace the clutch soon or something.

It's pretty much a fixed loader with no easy way to take it off like the modern ones, that's why no one mentions that.

I wouldn't swear that the valve in question is a Gresen,
the raised casting running fromthe valve output to the screw plug does not look like any of the pictures I have seen of a Gresen and not on the link posted back in post #7.
While I would agree that most likely a power beyond plug would go in the side center port, that would make the screw plugged port a return to tank, maybe.
