Log Splitter Mod. Help Needed. Dual Control Valve.

[Splinter35]

Hello,

First I just want to say thanks for any help up front. I have a wallenstein WX520 and I am needing to put a log loft on it. I’m going to attach a pic of it.

It has a Honda 160cc 5.5hp engine with a two stage pump.
I’m wanting to add a hydraulic log lift on the side and I’m not sure what I should be looking for concerning the control valves.

Such as pressure rated? It already as auto return.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

I guess I am wondering is I assume my hydraulic tank would be big enough already?

Where your control handle is that runs the ram cylinder. You should need a probably 3/4 nipple that should screw into your valve and that in your new controller. Either that or get a double handle valve control

I see what your saying. If I get a different control valve is there a pressure rating or anything

I think you can get one for a log splitter. I have one I had bought to do what you want, but I just bought a new splitter. It’s just a single control that you screw on to the one you have by the nipple or you can get a double already done. Don’t know how much different in price. I bought mine from northern Hydraulic’s.
