Afraid I have to disagree with Jim a bit on this. The 300U (and probably the other hundred-series models as well) have an unusual hydraulic system different from the typical "open-center" and "closed-center" varieties. The 300U's system actually has THREE ports to worry about: supply, return, and control.

The most straightforward way to adapt to a generic logsplitter is to come off of one of the original IH control valves on the tractor. If the splitter includes an open-center control valve to select among forward, reverse, and idle, it will be necessary to tie that control valve handle on the tractor into one of its "on" positions to supply hydraulic pressure to the splitter's control valve via two hoses (supply and return). The IH control valve will take care of the control line in this case.

I suppose it's remotely possible to do the tapping into the hydraulic reservoir block that Jim talks about, but you'd also have to tap the block to pick up the control port as well, and then tee it into the return line. This would get the pump to supply high-pressure hydraulic fluid to the splitter (through supply and return hoses hooked up to the other two ports) as well as keeping hydralic fluid from flowing out of the open conyrol port all over everything. This approach would be a kludge at best, and I'd strongly recommend avoiding it.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
