following all this...i checked some web sites for the parts i am using on my splitter. to achieve the maximum desired tonnage, your pump, control valve and cylinder must be "tuned" with each other...for lack of a better word.
i am using a prince LS-3000 control valve with a maximum factory setting of 2750 as you can see at this link:

the pump i am using is a haldex two stage as you see here:
http://www2.northerntool.com/product/200321057_200321057.htm
the pump, according to the haldex web site, has a maximum pressure rating of 3000 psi. so, regardless what my pump says, the final word is the controller setting....correct? therefore, is it not true that my controller, in this case, is actually robbing me of power?
wouldn't i have been better off using one of the 3000 psi rated controller valves to give my 5" cylinder the maximum pressure?
so, i wonder if they intentionally did this lower setting because it's on a log splitter...which in most cases are probably home built...as a safety precaution?
