Didn't the 3ph come around the 1940's?

I was thinking some of those 8ns in the late 40s came with a 3 point. I'm pretty sure the farmalls didnt have one and the internationals of the late 40s did. This guy was in his 60s and said his dad used it to split wood. That's y I'm thinking 50s or newer.
I paid 375 for it. Its solid built and simple. I think it would be easy to throw a set of wheels on it and a motor if I wanted. It could use new hoses but definatly more heavy duty than the harbor freight or the half beam dirty hands splitter my dad bought. I'm guessing my 23hp diesel will run it fine.The 9n came standard with a 3 point hitch when it was released in 1939. I think it was on a David Brown tractor before that, but probably not very many were made. Looks like a nice unit, pretty similar to what I use today.

This one has a 21gpm pump. I run it on my NH with 23.some PTO HP. Runs great, but I did need to add weight on the front.
As long as you can pick it up, 23 hp is plenty. It's just a matter of how many gpm that pump pushes, and what you set the relief pressure at.

I'd replace them....no need for a hot hydraulic shower!
The non pressure hose is the one kind of slowly leaking but not leaking... the hoses are one sneeze away from disaster in my opinion. Or 1 large log.At least replace the pressure side hose.

Changed all the hoses and secured the pump to the tractor. And it splits wood. Part of this small pile was a real f'ed up twisted piece of ash about 20 inches in diamater and it wouldn't split it the one way but I flipped it around and it split it fine. It seems to split fine at idle and move a bit faster with some throttle but the power seems to be the same. I'll be splitting mostly ash for the next many years.
Flow is determined by rpm. Spin your engine 2x faster and the ram will run 2x faster (assuming the plumbing doesn't become a restriction). Personally I have a 5"x36" cylinder and I like to split as fast as possible, so I run my machine at close to WOT. I go for a PTO speed of right around 600 rpm.
Splitting power is about pressure. Your valve should have a relief setting built in. You should set it so that at operating rpm it pulls down the motor noticeably if you encounter an unsplittable piece, but doesn't stall it.
