You might be better off getting couplers from these places.

I appreciate it! Discount Hydraulic Hose has them cheap! Looks like what I need. I owe you one JJ! Appreciate the time you've spent on my questions.

Got my couplers today and they are a match. fel and valve are not on the tractor yet, so I just unplugged the fel bypass loop and plugged the splitter "IN" into the pump port and "OUT" into the PB port. Not blazing fast or super powerful, but beats hand splitting with a bad shoulder!

Just a quick update for anyone wondering about doing this. I've split several cords of wood this winter with no issues, and no noticeable heat problems. I still hope to be using a PTO pump by next winter but have been pretty happy with this setup so far. Sure beats the maul!

Very Nice, yes a little slow, but looks plenty powerful.

I'm going to start a thread for the BX25D with very similar questions, Hopefully J_J doesn't double face palm with my questions.
