Help on plumbing in front remote into loader on a kubota L3130 for a FEL Log splitter

[treeeman00]

I want to make a log splitter for the FEL on my kubota L3130. I need help plumbing into the loader hydraulics. Can I tee into the PB port on the accessory block that the loader uses or do I need to go into the high pressure port? Then I assume I tee into the return port also. The accessory block has a PB, high pressure and tank return port correct.Before everyone says I should use a standalone splitter I do use one. I want to use the FEL mounted splitter for big pieces to get them down to size that I can handle on the standalone splitter. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can not tee into a pressure line.

The PB has to go to the log splitter IN port on the log splitter valve.

The log splitter OUT port will tee back to a return line.

Valves in an open center hyd system have to be in series.

can I use the accessory block that the FEL uses or do I have to tap into the PB line itself?

The PB from the FEL feeds back to the block, and a port from the hyd blk goes back to the 3pt.

You could do this.

Take the PB from the FEL and run it to the IN port of the new front remotes.

Take the PB from the front remotes and run it back to the hyd blk.

All tank/return lines can be teed together.

Your hyd blk may look like this.

do you think I would be better off to plumb into tractor hydraulics or run a 3pt 540 pto pump?
