I drive my elevator with a hyd motor also. It is hooked the way you first had yours, into the splitter curcuit. The only thing that I did was to put a ONEWAY flow check into the line going to the power stroke of the splitting cyl., so the motor didn't run backwards when a block was being split. The elevator only runs when the splitting cyl. is fully retracted and I hold the lever in the retract position. Cuts down on the ware and noise factor. I do have some tips for you from an old geaser, (me) that has cut wood and built machines to make wood cutting easier,since I was big enough to help cut wood. You are off to a good start with your splitter, (push block on cyl./wedge on end of bed, gin pole to to drag logs and limbs to splitter and lift the heavy blocks). however here are a couple of sugestions for you. (1)cut the toung off, and weld it on the other end, or discard it and make a 3pt. A frame on the motor end. That will allow the elevator to slide under the splitting bed. The 3pt setup makes transport and splitting heidth very easy. (2) weld on some trays each side of the wedge so blocks don't fall on the ground when split. Picking blocks off the ground ONCE is enough!!! HeHe, The trays allow you to run the big blocks through again if too big, without picking them up of the ground again, and the proper sized ones just slide of end of trays and fall into elevator.
