L3710 - 3pt Log Splitter - Hyd Set Up?

bbfarm · Apr 19, 2015

Have a set of rear hyd remotes.

Confused, can I run the log splitter simply by connecting the two lines to the remotes?

Thank you.

You could, but be advised the tank port can not handle more than 500 psi.

You would bungee the lever on.

You could also run one port off the remotes and run the log splitter tank line to tank.

Not sure on the 3710, But on my 7510, I added a rear remote line before adding valves, so there is a QC in the rear loop, and tied into the Power beyond of the valves , ( a BH would attach here) No BH but I have a splitter inline...

The leaver for the remote seems to stay on in the direction of pressure on. With the return line from splitter coming back to the other remote port, will it allow the flow back to the tank?

"500 psi max return to tank" ?

Say if I was using the same remotes for a grapple on the bucket. If I push leaver one way it opens (pressure on), the other way it closes.

The supply would at 2500 psi, the return would be at how many psi?

Thanks.

The remote valve should have a tank port, and a PB port.

If hyd valves are connected correctly, most cyl expended fluid will go to tank at low pressure.

The max tank pressure of 500 psi is stated by the valve manufacturer. It varies from manufacturers from 150 to 1200 psi.

You can always add a BH connection to the pressure line using QD's and use that for the log splitter, but run the log splitter tank line to tank.

There are a couple of log splitter valve with PB that can be used and still have use of the 3pt.

The return pressure on most tank lines is from 10 psi to 100 psi.
