3PH Log Splitter

3/8" on the tractor, 1/2" on the splitter

Just use all 1/2 QD's.

If the splitter just has the typical in and an out, you can run the tractor out to the splitter in and the power beyond to the splitter out.

I am not sure I understand your statement.

The log splitter will obtain fluid from the PB adapter from the loader valve, and the OUT will go to tank or a return hose. .

JJ, Here is the original post:

I own a Kubota BX25. Which hydraulic lines do I use to hook up my splitter?
There's three lines: Outlet, Return and Power beyond

I am assuming what he describes as "outlet" is coming from the loader power beyond and his "Power Beyond" is supplying the 3-point. I recommended hooking up the splitter in the power beyond loop between the loader and 3-point, taking some precautions because the splitter valve is not really made for power beyond.

He could connect the splitter between the loader and the tank return but the 3-point will not function. This will be inconvenient since the splitter is on the 3-point.

I agree, and to keep the valve from possible damage, once the log splitter is setup, he could disconnect the PB QD and plug in the log splitter and run the log splitter OUT to tank..

Switching back to 3pt would only take a few minutes.

A two way hyd valve would also work to switched between log splitter and 3pt. .
