I picked up a used log splitter last year and thanks to advice found here, got the right connectors to hook up to my M6800, flushed the old fluid and split a bit of wood last year.
The way I would use it was to take the hyd. lever control on the tractor and push or pull it one way or the other until it locked into place.
Then I would move back to the splitter and use the control lever on it to expand or retract the cylinder to split the wood.
The only bad thing was that when I expanded the cylinder too far or retracted it all the way, the splitter cylinder would quit moving and the pump seemed to make a different noise. The only way I could get it to reset was to move the hyd lever on the M6800 thru it's positions and then lock it back down. Then at that point I could resume splitting.
Any body have any ideas what is wrong? I don't know if the problem lies in the log splitter hydraulics or maybe there is a over-pressure relief valve on the M6800 that needs adjustment. I'm not strong in hydraulics workings...
Let me know if you need any more details.
