(quoted from post at 13:23:33 01/27/16) I have never seen tire chains like those, whats the scoop on them?
(quoted from post at 13:38:25 01/28/16) I use them in the woods too for skidding etc. I always called them mud links. Kind of rough on hard surface though.
(quoted from post at 16:11:49 01/27/16) i only use the splitter to deal with pieces that do not readily split via my monster maul. i set the stubborn pieces aside until i build up a bit of an inventory, and then go.
close-up of the switch valve that changes flow to the rear/remote lever (makes loader inoperable while using remote).
Sorry for being late to the party but I just noticed this comment and picture. Here's a thought:
Doesn't look like the splitter valve comes off the tractor so I'd ditch the selector and daisy chain the two open center control valves together. That way you have the loader AND the splitter "hot" all of the time and it makes the plumbing simpler.
Or remount the splitter valve on the splitter itself and put the quick connects on the rear of the tractor for general purpose remote outlets. Use the selector to bypass the outlets when they are not connected to the log splitter or other hydraulic equipment.
Either way your loader stays "hot" at all times.

i'll admit to not fully knowing how all the hydraulics work/are set up. i do think that the splitter changes the "return" path opposite the pressure side, either through the loader valve body or through the "remote" valve body. ie, the angled fitting is the return, and the path is either out the bottom (remote) or out the side (loader valves).
i'd be interested in knowing more about it, though. be happy to take and post pics from a different perspective.

Your selector looks to be the same Prince SS1Axx valve I use on my hydraulic kits. The top connection is pressure in from the pump. The two output connections from the selector are high pressure supply to either the loader valve or teh splitter valve. Operating the spool on the selector switches the pump back and forth between the control valves. The low pressure return from each valve has to go back to the tank via some route regardless of which valve is currently connected to the pump. On some of the old loader valves that return was thru the base of the valve where it bolted to the reservoir so to be safe let's assume that is the case here and make it the downstream valve. Plumbing the valves like this puts both valves in series on the pressure circuit with the splitter upstream of the loader:
- [*:c1224b51e4]Pressure line from pump to IN on splitter valve.[*:c1224b51e4]OUT on splitter valve to IN on loader valve[*:c1224b51e4]OUT on loader valve (either through the base or externally via hose) to tank[/list:c1224b51e4] Both valves are now "hot" at all times and can be operated independently of each other. The upstream valve will have precedence over the downstream valve and operating them simultaneously will put both loads in series and can have unexpected results ;-)
