Yeah the hydraulic pump provides enough pressure on tick over to split most logs, however it won't split really knotty wood as it triggers the bypass valve
So there is constant pumping to the rear hydraulic socket? I need constant pumping to two sockets so I can use a steerage hoe that is controller by the person at the back to steer left and right, would this work for that or do I need a dual system?
There is constant pumping when the linkage control lever is moved all the way up. To have two sockets constantly pumping would mean the line from the diverter would need to be spilt into two ends.
Great video. If you lifted an implement up and then switched the diverter do the lift arms stay in the position before you switched or do they go down?
So your add on diverts the flow from the lifting arms to an aux while using the std lift control lever, am I getting that right? Well done. Where did you get the Diverter??
Yes it diverts flow from the arms and they stay in position, the diverter came from may hill tractor parts, to use the log splitter I put the position control lever into the constant pumping section at the top of the quadrant and use the lever on the log splitter to control it👍
Have you used new bolts to fix down the Diverter? I am using the old bolts and am finding no room for a spanner on the rearward bolt and no room for even a slimline socket and therefore cannot clamp it down tight enough.
The valve came from May Hill Tractor Parts ( Massey Ferguson hydraulic top cover diverter) and the hydraulic hoses and fittings came from a local hydraulic place
Great video apart from the music… at least I could mute, I’m not cultured maybe? Neat job with the hydraulics, need to do this modification to my MF135, thanks for the info. Keep up the good work.
Lol, it would fit in while bombing people in a war movie. I guess it depends on your music tastes. My 4 year old gets me to listen to Peppa Pig or some other obnoxious stuff while working on things. Moonlight Sonata is her favorite song though. @Corvacar
Interesting, I think my phone has been listening to me again, I was talking to a hydraulic engineer about this very subject on Friday morning, then this pops up on uTube!! Is this a system you have come up with yourself Luke, or is there info out there which would explain it all. The reason I’m interested in doing the same is I have an old Tarrup flail forage harvester which I use for topping weeds in our paddocks (don’t like sprays) but I need to pick the cutter off the ground between patches, so as not to cut the grass, this, at the moment is done by winding a handle around, I want to use a ram. I take it this system doesn’t create a double acting system does it? Musics fine😊
Thanks 👍, I had seen on TH-cam someone put a flow and return system on and which hole to put the return pipe in, then I bought the valve block from May Hill Tractor parts and fitted it, the fluid only flows in one direction but with a valve block like that one the log splitter it can become double acting. 👍
Got mine set up and running on 135 thanks to this video it's not too slow
I will be welding A frame on splitter next
Well done I'm glad it helped 👍
Nice one luke, will have to look at doing this to ours at some point 👍
It's much easier than first seems and makes the machine much more versatile 👌
Hi, can I ask does the 35 have sufficient power to comfortably use the log splitter? Is the splitter slow or any other problems thanks

Im not sure but I as I've only used it with the splitter on the ground
@@lukeelms3080 thanks, I was looking at your hedgecutter video after that. What ways it work. The same setup?
@@prime553 yeah but the hedge cutter has support bars to hold it up. The system uses the same flow and return valves.
@@lukeelms3080 thanks. Might look about getting a hedge cutter for my own 35
@@prime553 the Swingtrim is good for regularly maintained hedges but thicker pieces can jam the cutter bar

@@aussiefarmer8741 No worries 👍

I used the original bolts and had plenty of room with the spanner, are you using a different design of diverter?
Nope same one. bought it from May Hill. I'm putting on a 135 if that makes a difference. Top cover looks the same.@@lukeelms3080
Have you a link to where you got the kit??

The Music is wonderful but, l can’t fit it in with working on Hydraulics on a Tractor .

Does the draft lever need to be up I just installed one on my 35 and none of the hydraulics work now no pressure to pipes or lift in any position
Did you swap the pipe from the pump onto the new valve on top of the gearbox cover
@@lukeelms3080 that’s the long pipe that comes up from the pump to the diverter yes
@@Farmer_scoobs ok, is the position control (main lever) at the very top of the quadrant?
@@Farmer_scoobs yes that is the pipe which sends pressure to the rest of the system, does the linkage raise?
@@lukeelms3080 no linkage not coming up either

Thanks for your response Luke, I’m going to try it
@@rward5219 I hope it works for you👌
is it just a single port Divertor?
Yes it has three ports but the others are blanked off
