Ford 600 (660) hydraulic question(s)

If the aux access box (insert) is the standard box about 3x6x1, that mounts on top of the housing (between your legs at the front of the seat), it allows fluid intended for the lift to go elsewhere first; hence the necessity for the open center control valve which you said you have. As I recall the front port of the adapter is for the aux in and the side port is for aux out.

The lift arms must be somewhere besides full up for your aux to have any hyd pressure. I set mine half way down.

The lift and aux cannot be operated simultaneously. One control at a time since the aux blocks fluid to the lift when you have the aux valve engaged in the in or out position.

Want more, ask,

There is likely enough 'power' from the Ford to power a regular wood splitter with a big cylinder.

There is not much 'flow' and the wood splitter will run real slow. Would need about double the flow to work up to a useable speed for many.....

Then, if he says the hyd splitter uses a small cylinder - well, the whole thing sounds like it wasn't worth the effort, an old tractor with old pump needs a gigantic cylinder to make up for the 1500-1800 psi vs 2400 on new tractors....

A pto pump might be a good option at this point.
