Hydraulic pto question.
Posted: Sun Apr 16, 2023 5:03 pm
So. This could end up being a Ramble. ! My Case 224 has the rear hydraulic pto option. The previous owner had rigged it up to run a cylinder to operate the 3 point hitch. The cylinder, lower arms and his pipe rigging are not original. I’m fairly sure.
So I want to rig up the pto to operate a wood splitter. Been on my mind files away at the back of the mind files section, since I got the tractor two years ago in August. So, just for entertainment I might try to rig it up to the old splitter.
The three point system I would say will never be used. Be cause it need the proper stuff to make it operate. So I want to get rid of the pipe rigging and install two hydraulic quick disconnects to the pto valve.
A little about the old homemade splitter. I did not make it. I bought it and I hooked it to my 1951 TEA20 Ferguson tractor. I rigged up the tractor with quick disconnects so I could plug in the splitter. It worked great. Would split mostly anything, but very slow operation back and forth. Used it for a number of years. Pump flow on the old Ferguson is only around 2 to 3 gph when it was new.
Thinking the Case has about the same pressure as the Ferguson but has 8 gph I was curious to see if it would work and be any faster.
Any way. My question is, once I get this hooked up, which way do you move the lever to operate the splitter. Or would it make any difference.
