I have a MTD log splitter model 24bf572b729. And lately it’s been moving really slow. Roughly 32 second cycle time. I’m not exactly sure what it was brand new but I was definitely faster.
I purchased a 3000psi hydraulic gauge and hooked it to the pipe that went to the piston.
When I pull the lever to extend the piston the gauge shoots up to 3000 psi.
I am assuming that means I have a bad cylinder, and can rule out the pump and valve ( please confirm thanks)
Is it possiable to repair the cyclinder myself ? What’s involved.
Or where do I find someone to repair it for me, or should I just buy a new one instead of paying someone to repair.
Thanks in advance for all of your help
