They cycle time for the Speeco/Huskee 28 ton model is listed as 12 seconds on the Speeco website. That's on par with I&O and TW for their lower end models. Does anyone have the Speeco/Huskee 28 ton model to verify this?
I have a copy of the 2009 Tractor Supply Outdoor Power Equipment literature in front of me, and it lists the 28 horse Huskee with the black 190 cc engine, 11 gpm pump, with an 18 second cycle time.
But that brings up another question: I saw one at the store (Tractor Supply), but they don't list that model (2152374) on their web site. It's in the 2009 catalog. I googled it and found a cached copy from a few weeks ago, but it is not listed on their site currently.
What's up with that?

Edit: to be more specific look at the rolled edge guide for the wedge run, drop a healthy chunk of wood on that and it will bend and bund up the wedge on the pass, .....
Which model is it listing the 12 second cycle time? We don't list the Huskee models on the SpeeCo website, what SpeeCo sells to other customers and what TSC buys as Huskee splitters are not always the same, we do some changes to meet their needs and wants. Let me know which model you are looking at and I can verify.
The advertised cycle times are calculated cycle times. In the interest of consistancy, that is how it was decided to rate cycle times. Based on the 4.5 inch cylinder and the 16 gpm pump (which all 28 ton models have), the cycle time is calculated to be right about 12 seconds.
I think they make a Speeco brand where not all the options are the same. Some of the Huskee units for TSC are built a bit differently, maybe a smaller gpm pump is why the cycle time is less than the one on the website.I have a copy of the 2009 Tractor Supply Outdoor Power Equipment literature in front of me, and it lists the 28 horse Huskee with the black 190 cc engine, 11 gpm pump, with an 18 second cycle time.

Hi Chad! Good to see a "Off cover" manufacture rep here on the forum.
I have a couple of questions about your splitters.
I have looked into most of the common brands of splitters and it seems like the very most of them are over rated on splitting force. Sometimes it is hard to tell, because all vital numbers (usually the system pressure and the pump displacement cui/rev) are not provided from the manufacturer. I usually find math ok about cycle time, if the gpm's at a reasonable rpm are correct or near by.
But let us talk about this 28 ton SpeeCo.
With a 4.5 inch bore you will need a 3500+psi system (relief valve setting) pressure to provide 28 tons of splitting force.
Most components used in splitters today, like pumps, valves and cylinders are usually rated for system pressure lower than, or equal to, 3000psi (207bar).
1. Can you tell what pump make model#/rating, cylinder make/rating, directional valve make model#/rating, and system pressure (relief valve setting) this 28ton splitter is built with??
2. At what rpm's do I get the 16gpm from the pump, or what is the pump displacement on high and low pressure?
3. Have you ever concidered using a pressure sensitive regenerative valve between the directional valve and the cylinder? That would give the splitter a real cycle time boost, and no 2-stage pump would be necessary.
Looking forward to your answer!
Best Regards!
