Great video Jeffrey, I'm attaching the same setup wood splitter setup on my ford tractor but have many questions. I have the same Single Spool Double Acting Hydraulic Remote Valve Kit from Steiner, how did you hook up your hoses? The valve kit has two ports but which one did you use for high and low pressure? Also the valve kit handle is spring loaded to return to the center, did you use a bungee or something to wedge it open?
Yes I Bungie the control valve forward but it has equal power both ways so if the splitter runs backwards simply Bungie it the other direction. It's important to tape the threads on your hose fittings well or buy fittings that have an o ring in side to avoid leaking. Good luck with your job.
