Where have you piped it to? Have you got the lift arms locked down?

You have to chain the arms down and stop them lifting to get pressure out of that port. Once that is done it should work.

You will also find that if your P R Valve on yout splitter is set higher than the one on the tractor, then oil flow will stop until you release the lift lever and bring it up again.
