Hooking up a three point logsplitter?

[rdbee]

My buddy has a tractor that has no aux. couplers to power hyd. implements, but it does have a hyd. bucket. Can I just tee off the hyd. lines where they come out under the seat and run them back to some couplers at the rear in order to power a three point hitch splitter?
Thanks Guys

Unless the tractor is using an auxiliary pump.(more gpms) It is going to be slow. I have a 3 point splitter on a 40 horse Long tractor and it is unmercifully slow. Tonight I had a brainstorm. I had a 20 plus year old Brace 17.5 ton splitter. It used to sit really low to the ground.This was before the days of the stand up option. I removed the beam and placed a stump of tubing in there, Now the splitting surface is at 28 inches a much more comfortable height. I am still trying to decide what to do with the 3 point splitter,..It is in good shape with a valve and a good 4 inch cylinder..
