[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 28014, member: 897"] Are you building the splitter to be operated from inside the loader or outside the loader with a hand controlled valve? If you are going to operate it while standing outside the loader, then Tazza is right on about using an open center valve. This will allow you to turn on the auxiliary hydraulics (with the trigger switch) which will provide a constant flow of oil from one coupler, through the open center valve and back into the other coupler. When you operate the open center valve to advance or retract the cylinder, the valve will divert the oil into one end of the cylinder or the other. When you release the valve the oil will again flow back into the loader. You also want a valve that does not have detents and will spring back to closed if you let loose of the lever. If you are going to build the splitter with the cylinder and wedge on the ground side of the beam, and plan to operate it from within the loader, you don't need a valve. You will connect the cylinder to the auxiliary lines and use the thumb switch to open and close the cylinder. [/QUOTE]
