Splitter Detent Valve,

"This is the perfect setup for your homemade splitter or would be great as a replacement valve.I have not messed with the pressure set by the factory as it is plenty.Ease of installation and use for a 5" cylinder and 16 gpm pump make this the ideal setup."

"This replaced a non-detent valve on a wood splitter I rebuilt from scratch. It was a perfect replacement & very well made (and made in the USA). Works perfectly. I got the "Buyers Return Line Filter - 20 GPM Capacity" and an extra filter at the same time.
Photos of the completed project attached. Although replacing the valve only would have been easy, I decided to rebuild and relocate all the controls so that they are more convenient for the user.
Note installation of the 12 inch high splitter wedge -- also ordered from Northern Tool!"

"Used this valve on a homemade logsplitter I made for my son. It is powered from the hydraulic system of our little loader/backhoe tractor.
It was very easy to install, and works great!!
Also used a Haldex pump and Lovejoy coupling from Northern, on the tractor, to replace the old pto pump with live hydraulics!"

Log splitter valve,
February 18, 2009
By JBthebirdhunter
from Pittsburgh Pa.
|
"This control valve is a great value. It works great on the log splitter that I built. I only have about 15 hours on the valve with no troubles. It is very easy to adjust if you need to ( I have a preasure gauge in line after the pump). If you are building a splitter or replacing an old valve, you can't go wrong with this one."

"I bought the slitter valve last spring and once I got it hooked up with a new honda engine and a new pump that I had I was very happy the way the valve worked. the detent feature is super.I have recomended this pump to people that are thinking about building a new splitter.Not only for the valve but the price was also great.Delivery was on time and instructions were easy to follow."

Log Splitter Detent Valve,
November 18, 2008
By jmcrash
from Northern Wisconsin
|
"This is a great valve at a great price! It's exactly as advertised, and works perfectly. I replaced an old valve without detent, and this new valve with detent makes log splitting a simpler and quicker job. No more holding the valve and waiting for the cylinder to retract."

Log Splitter Detent Valve,

"Detent valve has upped my wood spitting output tremendously, no more slow valve action or sticky detent. If you are having trouble with your valve body on your wood spitter, get it fixed right with this valve. A1 top of the line."

A Great Log-Splitter Valve,

"I've been using this valve since 2004 on an awesome log-splitter that I built. I've never messed with the settings on it and it has worked flawlessly. I especially like the detent for the return. It now has a few hundred hours on it, and NO leaks. I might add that most of the other stuff on the splitter, including the 16 GPM two-stage pump, wedge, cylinders, cylinder mounts, clevis-pins, hydraulic reservoir, filter, 40 X 48 utility trailer, hitch coupler, trailer dolly, trailer-feet, and spare tire all came from Northern. Building this thing was a blast and it was nice to be able to buy even the smallest EXACT part that I needed. I spent a whole winter building it and ordered the parts as I needed them. I never had a problem with Northern and never had to return anything. This splitter is vertical or horizontal, at least 25 tons, with power-tilt and stabilizers and it draws a crowd when I stop to gas up or eat! Check out the pictures. I did buy my own paint... I have more pictures..."
