Guys,
I'll preface my questions below with a little back ground about myself. I am an oilfield engineer with 10 years of experience. My expertise is fluid dynamics (pumping and flow of the various fluids in drilling wells) in well bores. Now I know a lot of "self educated" people with a degree from "The School of Hard Knocks" have little use for engineers and I understand why trust me. Most engineers only work in theory but where I excel is taking the theory (which isn't my strongest suit lol) and working with people with self taught experience to come up with the best solution to issues. I also am a firm believer and have a bad case of the Redneck axiom "More Power or More Gas is Always Better"!
Now to the question. I've been reading the log splitter builds with interest and decided I need to start learning more about hydraulics. As I need a better log splitter I am looking to build my own for the learning experience. Using the theory bigger is always better Im considering a 5,000 psi two stage hydraulic pump. I've looked at a lot of pump on the typical web sites and read a lot of threads but aren't seen one yet. Do any of all know if this pump is even manufactured and where I could find one?
