Here's a cylinder for the mother of all splitters.

It has an 8 inch bore with a 10 foot stroke.

But if you split the whole log before you buck it then you can't talk yourself into a bigger saw.

Better have the mother of all hydraulic pumps and a Cummings turbo diesel running it if you don't want a 15 minute cycle time .

Maybe this would be powerful enough for a 4 way splitter?:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Ports

Take a close look at the port/line size dont matter what pump or moter you have ,..It looks like it was set up to move slow, E, J

:censored: I don't know what you fools are wasting you're time talking about bigger saws and cycle times for, how would you load the dang thing? Kinda like that stupid monster Tiberwolf built, sure it's big, but how do you get the logs there much less load them on that thing?

loaders

We use front end loaders with the fork attachment,.. works good up to about 25 thousand lbs, when we get home on concrete we use fork lifts,.. Prefered as long as you have concrete as ours ar hard tire,..
