    I'm considering purchasing a Prince wolverine monoblock spool valve and am looking for any feedback. Anyone use one ?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I've never used the "wolverine" series but Prince valves are very popular on log splitters and are also found all over the place in the hydraulic industry. Just make sure the one you get is rated for the pressure and flow rate you require.

    I've used prince in the past but never the "globally sourced " ones. I'm trying to find a low gpm rated, preferably monoblock design with 4 or more spools. Open to other suggestions for sure.

    Aren't they all pretty much " globally sourced" now?
    That's what I'm seeing in the Supply Chain side...

    Unfortunately it seems so... but they do differentiate between their standard line and globally sourced. Space for my install is tight so a lot of custom hard lines will be used making a substitution in the future a pita.

    Just put a Prince valve on my splitter. Works great.

    I have a 4 spool from Wolverine that I used to make 4 rear remotes on my tractor. It had an option for a detent that I used on one spool to leave on all the time to run a backhoe or splitter.
