3PT Hitch log splitter

[zelt]

I have a JD 4200 with a third spool kit I installed to run my 3Pt hitch snowblower chute. Will this run a 3Pt hitch splitter(looking at an American CLS 24") as configured or do I need a power beyond kit? Does a PTO pump hook directly to the splitter bypassing the tractor hydraulics? Thanks.

Welcome to TBN

You can hook the splitter directly to the rear remote, but you will have to use a bungee cord or rope to hold the remote lever forward after the splitter is hooked up. The PB would eliminate having to do that but is not "necessary".

A PTO pump would connect directly to the splitter and the rear PTO, no tractor hydraulics would be used with that setup, and the splitter would be faster as well.
