they are "designed" for only vertical use but they work fine on their side too. just make sure you set it up so the pump side is down in the horizontal position. or maybe just make it hook into the splitter hyd system. not really a big deal to have to start the motor to raise up your beam.
lookin great so far. keep up the good work. im really interested to see how it works. never seen a splitter built like it before
The detent valve said to no have pressure on the outlet side so I assume if you plumb an open center valve in front of the detent valve that would work.
I'm going to try an keep the angle to 45° or less if I can. The long stroke jacks are very cost effective at ~$60 or so.
I've never seen one like that before either and can't wait to see it work.
Thanks for the support
