I built a woodsplitter with a 5 inch bore cylinder..It has a 3-1/2 inch diameter piston rod It take 2-1/2 gallons of oil to extend 30 inch"s. Because the rod is so large it takes only about a gallon to retract it.. this means that the oil behind the piston is being pushed out at a tremendous velocity. With a 7 gallon per minute pump, return oil may be going out a 20 GPM. (I"m not going to do the Math here)I plumbed the system with 3/4, 2 wire hose, the return line with 1 inch hose, and used a return line filter with 1-1/4 ports,rated at 30 GPM.
