Hey guys,
I scored big time on some craigslist red oak that are like 42" rounds:jawdrop: Anyway, I have been splitting it up after work so that I can transport it home. It has been hot and humid here in Philly and while I was splitting, hydraulic fluid started to spray out of the reserve where the cap is on my huskee. It looked like it was coming out relief or air hole in the cap and it was coming out like a stream. My question is: was this caused by overheating the fluid or is something else wrong? I was only splitting for about an hour when this happened. I haven't been back over to check it out yet and I am going to check the hydraulic levels now that it has cooled but should I be wary of anything else? Let me know. Thanks
Steve
