I am not sure of which pump is on that model but if it is a 2-stage will switch to low flow/high pressure if it doesn't the engine will stall.
The wood flying is not because of the hydraulics by itself it is more due to particular pieces of wood I have had a couple that popped that way.
 
Here's a spec sheet on Didier's - hope you can read it.

I just put a new motor on my very old Didier splitter. Now that the splitter is running again, i want to find some info on hydraulic filter. The brand is cross, 25 micron is the screen but i cannot find a part number for the filter. The filter itself has no printer number On the body. Anyone with a manual, could you look up the filter number so i can try to locate one? my filter mount has a number 4z0014 nothing matches that number that i can find. I appreciate any help on this.

IMG_20160302_113945.jpg I cannot get the filter off and I need to find another filter. Everything on the splitter is working but the filter is very old, I cannot identify a filter part number. Any idea's? I did replace the motor with one from harbour freight.IMG_20160302_113927.jpg
 
I don't believe Didiers came with filters, at least mine didn't. That setup is something someone added - If you can replumb it to bypass the filter, just to test your theory, I'd do that.
 
It looks like a Cross brand filter assembly. A NAPA 1551 filter shows up when cross referenced. There are other brands also.

Thanks, I need to borrow a filter wrench to remove the one on there now. The splitter sat for years unused until I finally got the Harbour Freight motor; the filter seems stuck on with years of dirt. I will look for that model number. So far, I had not found any plate or marks other than a few decals. Thanks again.
 
Thanks to all for the help.:) I had searched Didier before but not found any info. Now I have your experiences to source, I will get my little splitter all prettied up. Lacking out buildings, I plan to build myself a splitter house to protect it so it will last another 30 years.
 
IMG_0065.JPG Here is my didier. Got it ten years ago with a new motor.

Works awesome! I'm so proud of it!

I use the bucket to sit on while running it.
