Hydraulic quick couplers.

I have a 3 point log splitter which has a reservoir tank and is powered by a PTO pump. I was thinking of installing quick couplers on the lines between the pump and the log splitter for ease of hooking up and to use the pump for other uses. Can I use a quick coupler on the suction hose (between the reservoir and pump intake) without problems or will it restrict flow?
Also, where is the proper location to install a filter in the circuit, on the suction line or the return line?
Thanks.

If you use a quick coupler on the suction side I would go up one size from the hose dia.(e.g. 3/4" to 1" or 1" to 1 1/4") and use a bushing on the hose. This would compensate for any restrictions in the coupler. I have only seen filters installed on the return line to the tank or in the tank. You don't want to cause too much restriction in the supply line it can cause problems such as sucking air into the system and cause excess heating of the oil. HTH JF

Suction line quick couplers can be used if the suction is not too great.In some cases the coupling can be pulled shut.Putting the filter in the return line keeps any contaminates from entering the supply tank where you don't want them to get in.This means that any oil that is added to the tnk must be kept clean.Otherwise I would put the filter in the suction side.
