A dumb question about log splitters

I could easily build a 3-point log splitter for my Case 1030. It has two remotes in back. My dumb question is how do I control the cylinder? I surely don't want to crawl up in the cab everytime I start to split a piece. Do I push the lever down in the cab to open the flow and then use a separate control at ground lever? Not really sure how to set this up. Any help would be appreciated!

On a 1030 case, you don't have to go through all the extra for valving. The remote control levers are accessable from the rear under the fuel tank within easy reach. A little fabrication and you would be able to make an extended handle to reach the work area of the splitter.

Look for 2 levers extending to the right of center as you stand behind looking at the tractor right under the fuel tank. They are stacked on top of each other about 1/2" apart from each other vertically. They have a ball joint on the end and the connecting rod goes to the front @ a 90 degree angle.

I always operate the remotes in this fashion when hooking up on my 930, the 1030 isn't any different. Sure saves on the legs going up and down.

You got it figured out! Mount a 3-position, 4 way control valve at the splitter so you can control it from the ground. To operate, tie the cab lever controlling the circuit the splitter is connected to in the forward position, then go to work!

Bud, my tractor is plumbed similarly. I use a bunjee cord to hold my forward control open when I use my backhoe. You'll also want a rear control.

As my forward control was set up for two directions at the back, up and down for a dump trailer, I have to make sure the fluid is going to the correct hose or operating the hoe would be pretty confusing.
