So I ordered a 28gpm 2 stage pump, got a 15.5hp Kohler to repower an old home-made splitter and it looks like I'll be better off building from scratch. I planned on reusing the old (rebuilt) 4&1/2" x 22" cylinder. That should push 23 tons of splitting power.
Then, my dad picks up a 6" cylinder and proudly gives it to me for the build. 42 tons! But the catch is the stroke of this one is only 17" (advertised so 16& change).

I only use this thing on the piles of gnarly stuff the monster maul bounces off of (Big sugar maple, pin-oak, elm).
