Can't say I've ever seen/heard of a log splitter that big!!!
I thought mine was bigger than most with a 70 Hp 4 cyl engine.
Yours is more like a large car crusher in a salvage yard.!!
We need pictures of that monster
Sorry, I guess I should clarify. The log splitter is a CountyLine 25ton (log splitting force) machine. It weighs 495 lbs total. I wanted to tow this behind the zero turn but the metal for the attachment "hitch" is very thin and it has too much tongue weight given the location of the hitch. I only have about 1.5 acres but I split at the far end of the yard and have to move it back and forth.

In terms of the PTO.....Please remember that this is my learning machine and I am no mechanic and have little experience with small engines. As I stated, the tractor when jump started stays running. There is a red wire and a blue wire near the positive batter wire but I cannot tell where they went at first glance. The engine wont crank with the key at all, even with the PTO in the off position. I thought that adding terminal connections to the battery wires and putting a new batter in would be a quick fix but there does not seem to be power getting to the ignition when I hooked it all up.

Also, by accident I touched the blue wire to the batter terminal and it had a spark and I could hear something click/clunk as if engaging or disengaging. I am pulling some wiring diagrams to see if I can find out more.

I looked under the ignition this morning and it looks like wires have been cut at some point. Here is a pick but I do not know what I am looking at....yet. I have spend all of 5 minutes messing with it.
