Narrow Frame Hydraulic Options

My Log splitter is directly coupled to 6.5HP engine (yes another engine) which is at idle most of the. Now the tractor is free for other things like hauling. A ported pump would do anything on the tractor that would ever need it to do.

My 22 Ton speedco splitter has 4-5 gal tank and does get warm when running for a few hours.

If the powering tractor has a dual spool valve with auxillary rear outlets, you just use the quick couple hoses and power the spool valve on the splitter with those. You would not have to take the pump off. Now, I say that easily, it is a little more complicated than that. But you seem to be under the impression that your log splitter has to be directly hooked to the pump on the tractor and that is not true.

Sorry couple/uncouple meaning hoses.

here are a few pics from my current project.

Wow.....
Ummmm you have to put a support bearing near that love-joy, or it's gonna be bad when it comes apart. Don't bother saying you already had it running. That isn't going to work. Can't use a love-joy and u-joint combo like that without a support bearing.

Next issue.... I don't see any room left to mount the 3rd link for the 3pt.....

Issue 3: The reason that 3ph arms have a ball socket on them is because they need to flex. Without them, the hitch will break. The rear implement needs to be able to move independent of the tractor. Too rigid is bad.... I have seen one built as you did before. It lasted a while before it broke.

Issue 4: As long as the arms are, you won't be able to pick up very much. No need for them to be that long.

Issue 5: The plate the pump is mounted to is too thin. It will crack from vibration, and it won't be long.


I'm sorry to be this way, but your design needs a lot of rethinking......

But as a 'proof of concept' project, I'd say, it's a good start. A lot of stuff in a compact unit, that has the benefit of adding weight to the drive axles. Some refinement can be done, but keep at it!

just need to fab up a bearing mount on that trans plate and it should work.
