I have often wondered why my TW-6 has a 22 gpm two stage pump and a 18/20 hp engine(Honda GX 630), while the TW-5 has a 22 gpm two stage pump and a 13 hp engine (Honda GX340).
-Cycle time is posted as 8 seconds with a 24 x 5 x 3.5 cylinder(TW-6), and 10 seconds with a 24 x 5 x 2 cylinder(TW-5).
-the TW-6 has a dump valve and 20 gallons of hydraulic fluid vs 15 gallons on the TW-5
They both have the same pump. Splitting tons is 28 vs 25. (which relates to cylinder size, and assumes psi is the same)
So then Isaaccalson with a 28 gpm would need? Increased hydraulic capacity presumably for cooling, and a dump valve? Plus valves and hoses rated for 28 gpm.
So why do two splitters, the TW-5 and TW-6, with the same size pump have different size engines?
