Ford 850 Hydraulic Pump

[Anonymous-0]

Does any one have any idea what flow to expect from the hydraulic pump on a 55" ford 850? GPM?

I"m building a log splitter and I"m wondering if there will be enough flow to drive a 4" cylinder at a reasonable speed.

thanks, joel-

About 4 GPM for the piston pump, a little more for a vane pump in good repair. That's about a quarter of what most of us would call adequate for a splitter with a 4" cylinder.

Thanks.

Guess I will get a PTO Hydraulic pump.
