Going to be building a log splitter can any one tell me what the difference between a 8x8 I-beam of 40lbs per foot vs. 8x8 I-beam of 58lbs per foot. The difference in price would be only 60 dollars more for the xtra weight. the cylinder I will be using is a prince gladiator with a 6 inch bore 3 inch shaft and a 24 inch stroke. Is the 58lbs per foot beam to much over kill for this piston. It seems to be around a 42ton set up
thanks
