sorry but really???
what did you expect?
Us Armchair woodcutters to say? It looked slow to me but I kept my mouth shut..I figure til you have ran a faster one it would be fine for you.Rev it up and shoot another video then.

Toolhawk,
What are the specs?
Engine
Pump
Cylinder
Max psi set
My splitter is
18hp Briggs
28 gpm Barnes two stage
5x24x2.5 (boreXstrokeXrod dia.) cylinder
3000 psi
It takes about 5 sec to fully stroke out vs ~10.7 on the video. I don't know that I want any faster. It takes 3 guys to keep it halfway busy as it is.
Enjoy your splitter looks like it chews through the wood pretty good.

I admire anyone ready to try something for themselves regardless of the outcome. If it works for you great.

lol..be proud of the fact that you built your own splitter. not many people can build one. as for speed....mine has a 12 to 14 second cycle time...slow by many standards...but, i also split wood for myself so it really doesn't matter how fast, or slow she splits. i'm just thankful i'm not swinging a splitting wedge any more.

Yep, me too. I never realized I was supposed to be in a hurry. It's only for me, and I am about 3 yrs ahead......no hurry.
looks good.
I am building one very soon as i have almost all the parts.
just picked up a logsplitter ram for 300 bucks on sale to go with my new in box 5.5 hp and 2stage pump.
when done i expect about the same speed as yours unless the 2 stage sppeds it up a bit.
either way i just love to build .

Well no need to be in a real big hurry but that was pretty damn slow, and it would drive me nuts. We had a 3.5 Briggs that would cycle quicker than that (I don't know the rest of the specs on the splitter, its older than I am). Now its got a 13 hp on it and the cycle time isn't a whole lot quicker but we aren't running the motor wfo anymore either.
