Attaching to rear hydraulics

[motor2of7]

Hi, I'm new to the forum but from what I've read you folks know your orange tractors.

I have a B7200HST. I want to start using implements that attach to the 3pt hitch, some of which will tie in to the rear hydraulics, like a log splitter.

In the case of a splitter I've deduced that I need to pay attention to open vs closed control valves but I'm unclear on which one I need to use. Help!

Does anyone know the PSI and GPM ratings of the rear hydraulics?

Also, what QD fittings do I need to add to my tractor (supplier and part nos if you have them)?

I'd also be open to specific recommendations for splitters that will work with this tractor.

Thanks in advance.

Tractordata.com claims around 4gpm which is too small to run a splitter. The 3pt pump is too small to run a splitter effectively. You would need a PTO mounted hydraulic pump or on installed on the front PTO (crankshaft).

Hey Stumpy how is it you always put the link to a website into words like "too small"

It's basic BBCode. This is the code for that link with the final closing bracket removed. BBCode[/URL

It'll do it automatically if you select the words you want to link to and then click the hyperlink button (little globe with the paper clip). Just makes it looks cleaner to me.
