The simplest way to go about it would be to disconnect the IN and OUT lines from your loader's valve bank, and connect them to the IN and OUT ports on your log splitter's valve.
To make the job easier, you could install Pioneer style quick disconnects on the lines to speed up the process and minimize the mess each time you change over. Get to your wood pile, drop the loader on the ground to relieve the pressure, unhook the lines and connect the log splitter. When you're ready to leave, reverse the process.
I would highly recommend that you put a male end on the pressure line coming from the pump (IN), and a female end on the return line to the pump (OUT). This way you can't get them confused when connecting/disconnecting, and if you ever need to remove the loader, you can connect them together so the hydraulic fluid circulates instead of dead-heading and blowing the pump.
