Thanks for the great advice and ideas!!!
I had already concluded that the pump was the issue, that Prince was the logical replacement, but didn't know what size/volume I should get. Just measured my cylinder and tank - Cylinder is 3-1/2" diameter x 20" stroke (Splitter will do 24" wood). But tank is a small cylinder 4-1/2" internal diameter x 23" length (about 350 cu in volume)mounted directly above the cylinder and below control valve.
From your advice, seems like I need 20 gpm or greater. How do I size my tank?
My control valve does not have detents in either direction. What do you recommend for a decent, cost effective valve?
