Hello Tx Jim

[James Howell]

Read in one of your posts that you used a PTO hydraulic pump.

What make/model pump did you use?

I'm considering using a PTO hydraulic pump to power our log splitter.

Thanks for any information.

Sorry I can't remember the name as it was back in the late 90's. I do remember I bought it a Tractor Supply Co.

Thanks for the information.

We bought both our PTO pumps from TSC.

One for the sprayer tank and one for the water buggy tank.

I'll go take a look at what TSC has to offer later today.

I don't know if a pto "two stage hyd pump" is available but a lot of log splitters use a two stage pump.

I used a pto hyd pump on my log splitter 20 or more years ago. I had to put some washers in the bypass on the control valve. After that it would work the snot out of a late styled ('50) B. Split a lot of wood with that outfit, but too old and lazy now. Propane is a lot easier and I have no ashes to carry out. I think my pump was a "Prince" by Prince Hydraulics. Good luck.

Thanks for the information on the "Prince" PTO pump.

Got a lot of large oak trees that didn't make it through the drought that need to be cut and split for firewood.
