Speeco 3pt hitch log splitter hydraulic hook up

[Calgaryglenn]

Hello all, I pick up a used Speeco log splitter. My tractor, a New Holland Boomer 50 has 1 hydraulic outlet on the back and a joystick for the loader. I tested it out by hooking up to the hydraulics and if I put the log splitter valve on float I can operate the splitter from the tractor valve.
Can I harm the tractor hydraulics by operating it this way? Does anyone have any suggestions to make this work better? I have heard of power beyond kits but I don't know much about them. Is that what I need?

Probably really should have proper power beyond (PB) so the "control" is only for log splitter and the controls for FEL is complete out of the picture....

Is there a reason that you didn’t use the rear remotes on your tractor to run the splitter vs loader circuit?

You may need a bungee cord to hold the tractor control valve in shifted position when operating the splitter.
