I just got a new speeco log splitter. It has a open center valve in it, but also came with a closed center valve. What's the application for a closed center valve?

It's not likely your system is a closed center design.

It warmed up today a little so I hooked the splitter up. The book showed the pressure and return hook-ups backwards, other than switching those it works great. I split some with ease that my gas engine splitter wouldn't touch. Really happy with this! ....
