Running Log Splitter On M4700

[JSchmitz]

Hello,

I'm new to the site. I'm also new to tractors. I do have a lot of experience on lift trucks, etc. So, I'm not new to hydraulic systems.

I have a Kabota M4700 with a Woods 1020 FEL on it. I have a 3-point log splitter for it. I'm trying to figure out the best way to tap into the hydraulics. It has two quick disconnects, on the rear, for an auxiliary cylinder. But, I don't want to stand up between the wheels to use that control valve. Plus the splitter has it's own control valve. It has three lines running to the FEL. Two lines connect near the aux. control valve and one near the PTO. First, why three lines? Pressure, return, and ??? I assume I need to "T" into the pressure and return lines and add two disconnects at the rear. Thanks, Jeff

Also, the disconnects in the picture are Pioneer 9801 020. I can't seem to find any information on these. ???

My neighbor runs a 3pt logsplitter on his M series but he uses a seperate PTO mounted hydro pump. he likes his rig even though he has the rear remotes. does your splitter have its own reservior?
