Robbing loader hydraulics to run rear attachment

[Gafn]

I agree with everything you said... However the OP stated little $$ - so this is a simple cheap option until he/she can get the funds to install the rear remote.

Do you need 1/2" hose for that?

The log splitter that I bought from TSC came with 1/2" fittings so I used 1/2" hose, and two 1/2" - 3/8" reducer fitting I had in my cabinet of many things...

The log splitter needs 6 - 7 GPM and a 3/8" QC can flow at 7 GPM, so I could have reduced at the splitter but TSC was out of 3/8" so I bought what was on the shelf (1/2")

If all you are going to do is lift a bat wing or something like that you can go with smaller lines...
