I'm wondering where I find a two-stage hydraulic pump that can run at 3500 PSI. I see many log splitters advertised with such pumps - BUT - when I go to the actual companies that make the pumps - I can't find any rated over 3000 PSI. Barnes, MTE, Haldex, etc.
What's going on here? Are the sales ads bogus?
I'm asking because I want to build a 50 ton log-splitter that I can also use as a crawler track-press. I've seen it done and know it works with small tracks. I've seen some Deere 420 and 1010 tracks, as well as Oliver-Cletrag OC4 done in a HD 35 ton log-splitters.
My tractor mounted splitter has a 5" cylinder with a Prince PTO pump that only makes 2000 PSI. Fine for any wood I split, but technically it's only got 19 tons of force.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
