AGT835 Hydraulics for log splitter

[porky]

My AGT835 alpine has 2 quick connectors to operate a 3pt linkage open/close grapple with a non locking lever.  Can I plug a log splitter into the 2 quick connecters and lock the lever down to use it? (The bottom hose in pic 2 goes to the tank)

The engine is 35hp, is it likely to have a big enough pump to run a small log splitter?

Personally I’d run a pto splitter ... if that’s an option.

Give Riko a bell, they'll tell you what litres per minute flow it is pushing out, my agt850 was good running a 9ton balfor splitter off it's hydraulics and I think I'm right saying it put out 30lpm. Don't underestimate the amount of heat the back axle has to dissipate from a good splitting session though, not an issue with a pto model with its own tank as Matt suggests.

Thanks guys, the ouput is 26 l/pm so seems it's best to go via the PTO.

Aye I’ve had big problems with the rear axle and hydraulics, started by using the timber trailer crane off them, fingers crossed it’s sorted but was a ball ache.
