Hello I have a ford 961 with a push pull knob under the seat.When the knob is in the loader works up and down with the 3 point lever and if I pull it out the loader stops and the three point works. My Question is can I disconect both lines going to loader and run one to a log splitter. If so were will the return line from the splitter go back to the tractor as with the loader it returns when I put the 3 point lever down.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Aaron,you can split log with your tractor.You can hold pressure from your loader port to your log splitter valve than return to the sump by the plug where you put hydrolic oil in your tractor.Weld a fitting or tap an hole in it.Under the valve,the one under the seat,there have many port ,the big one is the pump pressure,check in the cover and the groove is toward 3 pts valve.You can make power beyond to install auxiliaury valve Bernar le mécano QC Canada

It sounds like a diverter valve, The ones I'm familiar with (such as my 1710 which has a position control hitch) go ahead of the 3ph control valve and direct flow to either the 3ph or an auxiliary system. On these systems anything powered from the auxiliary system has to have its own control valve assembly.

It sounds like the diverter valves comes after the 3ph control-valve and directs flow to either the loader or lift cylinder. The arrangement may be common on 961's but I don't think it would be possible on my type hitch.

Never the less, the plumbing should work by connecting the splitter valve return line to the other loader line. It should be a line going directly to the sump. However, even if the plumbing works, whether it's a good idea is another question.

I don't know if controlling a splitter from a 3ph control-valve is appropriate. Splitter valves usually are a bit specialized and have a release detent. Splitters also have doubling acting cylinders so they are powered in both directions. The 3ph control valve probably couldn't be plumbed to power double-acting cylinders.

A splitter valve probably could be powered from the loader circuit, but the 3ph lever would have to remain continuously in lift mode. Again, I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

Hello again the log splitter has a valve on it. So if I use one of the lines for the loader with the 3ph lever in up position were can I plumb the return from the log splitter back to the tractor. Thanks again Aaron

The splitter valve output should go to the sump.

Many tractors have plugged ports somewhere on the cases to accommodate return lines. Somebody who knows 961's may know a particular location. A hose terminating in a quick-connect with a mounting bracket for the rear fender would make the installation reasonable if the splitter will be taken on and off regularly.

A splitter probably isn't going to be very fast running from a 961's pump.
