Prince has come out with a new splitter valve that claims faster cycle times. They claim it can be used in place of a 2-stage pump.
LSR-3060-3
LSR-3060-3
The LSR has the added benefit of being specifically built to reduce system costs by working with single stage pumps. When extra force is needed, the LSR allows the user to manually shift from high speed mode to high force mode. This eliminates the need for a Hi-Lo pump and reduces the overall cost of a typical log splitter.
very very creative solution.
why can't you run this with a 2 stage pump????
If you are going to build a splitter from scratch. This would be somewhat OK. You would have to size your motor, pump, hoses and cylinder around the valve. Just a guess right now, but, If you have a 5gpm pump that you want to run at say 2000psi. You will need a 12hp motor. And you would need a cylinder with at least 1" ports/hoses.
