Hey guys, I've decided to reconstruct my hand-me-over home built log splitter. The 4&1/2" cylinder is great but the pump maxes out at 500psi although it is 15gpm...(according to the Brown&Sharp literature). Even at that low pressure the beam will begin to twist, and it's so low that my back aches after 1/2hour of using it.
Looking at a 22gpm 2 stage pump, that auction site has an aluminum body with mount and coupler for $200ish. Going with a cast iron unit from Surplus is 330 for just the pump (15hp Kohler will be motivating it).
I split around 3 cords a year, am I better off with the cast iron unit or can I get by with an AL body?
