LJD, you know your hydraulics. Here is a question, I have a 28 ton Huskee, with a honda GCR 190 engine, 2 stage pump, 11 GPM, if I am not mistaken the cylinder is a 4 1/2".
I have looked at just about every major brand of splitters in this category, and I found an Oregon brand on Bailey's 28 ton, I think about identical, however it has a 16GPM pump and cycles at 12 seconds, think my Huskee is 17 ? I don't have all the exact info, spec's in front of me. I also believe the reservoirs are about the same 6 gallons.
My question is, what would happen if I was to put the 16 GPM pump on this, is it feasible, or something mismatched? Would it speed up the cycle time if was compatible ? I also realize faster means to be more careful with hands, arms etc, but maybe it worth doing ? Thought I would ask an experience hand such as yourself.
I am very thankful to have this splitter, 2nd hand, was within my budget, and I have put it to the test with some dense crotch wood, hard maple, some really twisted and knotted up large pieces of willow,boy does that 2 stage pump shine when you put chunks like those through it. As is this will handle everything I need to put up the wood I have here. I thought the design of these were pretty good for what they are, and that I could put a drop on 4 way wedge and the log holder on it, going from a 10lb hammer and wedge, very thankful I found a deal on this, not many 2nd hand of these horizontal/verticle ones show up, they move quickly, the older style ones like Didier and so on + all the "home" built ones are plentiful around here, but they don't suit my needs.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
