I am plotting on adding a log lift to my splitter, and wondered if you guys can give me some info before I start ordering my parts.
My splitter is set up simple like most, a high pressure hose coming from the pump to the directional valve, two hoses going to either end of the ram, and a return line from the directional valve back to the tank after passing through the filter.
My question is, can I just add a T to the line that goes from the pump to the directional valve and add a second valve for the log lift ram? Then run the return line from the log lift valve back to a T on the main return line?
If this option doesnt work, how about replacing the valve with a valve that has two levers?
Which is best?(Or maybe the only right way?)
