Well i finally got the hydraulic hoses made for my wood splitter. Got it all together and it looks like my brand new prince valve is cracked under the outlet port. I thought id at least split some to say i did, it didnt seem to have the power it should, wouldnt split a log about 16inches in diameter. The wood was either ash or elm, not sure, the bark fell off. Even if it was elm, ive split it before and I would think it shouldve split it. Just had it at idle and it almost killed the motor so i brought it too half throttle and it broke the welds on my foot piece but didnt split the wood. Im wondering if i need to adjust the pressure of the pump??
Splitter specs:
old 16 hp kohler motor. kohler k341s
pump: is barnes 28gpm
valve is prince two way detent.
5x30 in prince cylinder
3/4 hoses and fitings.
any advice on it would be helpful...ill have to get ahold of a bigger welder to fix my foot piece.
Thanks
