stewie 3,387 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 You would need to find out if the log splitter has a d.c.v (directional control valve) if the hydraulic cylinder is double acting. I'm pretty sure most power packs built for running breakers and small hammers only have an on/off valve which only flows oil in one direction. thats whats got me thinking, its an old machine (jcb hydrochief) and cant find anything out about it online............ this is what i had in my mind, but not as powerful as i thought, but where some off the trees are (in a valley) you will only get them out with a quad, so just split what we can and leave the rest where it is.......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1isANIZ-2c we get it off a chap now who seasons it for 2 years in potato crates, its more expensive due to the length of time he has to store it for but by gum it burns well and hot how much is that mate???

slingshot82 32 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 The splitter with the jcb beaver power pack looks painfully slow lol. They only run at about 20 lpm @2000psi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
