Since you asked this question, it is apparent that you have very little knowledge about fluid dynamics. There are two hyd, things that you have to consider when building a wood splitter, along with mechanical forces when welding up a splitter frame that will hold up to all the forces. (1) for a splitter to have reasonable speed you need a pump which can deliver at least 8-10gpm, to get any reasonable speed from a 4" hydraulic cylinder.(2) you need a pump than can deliver at least 2400 psi. to make a 15 ton splitter with a 4" diameter cylinder. A 4x24" cylinder holds 1.31gals. of oil totally extended. The 10gpm pump will take about 8 seconds to extend the cylinder from retracted to fully extended with no load. The pump that you are considering will take more than a half minute to extend and only deliver about 2.5 tons of force if it can deliver 1200psi. of hyd. pressure. Do yourself a favor and check into pumps from Northern Tool or Surplus Center that are built to run splitters. Go to your computer's home page and search U tube for home made wood splitters.
