1.Measure the diameter of the piston. As an example, a piston has a diameter of 5 inches.
2.Square the diameter, multiply it by 3.14 and divide the result by 4 to calculate the area of the piston. In the example, squaring the diameter of the piston gives you 25, multiply 25 by 3.14 gives you 78.5 and dividing 78.5 by 4 gives you 19.625 inches squared.
3.Multiply the piston's area by the splitter's pressure rating. In the example, the splitter has a pressure rating of 3,000 pounds per square inch (PSI). Multiplying 19.625 by 3,000 gives you 58,875. The log splitter has a splitting force of 58,875 lbs..
The numbers are just an example,not what we are using. It will give you a tonnage of the splitter.
The reason for having a high ton rate is it is better to have it and not need it,than to need it and not have it.We like having extra hyd fluid for a cooler running system,not like the homeowners versions people can buy at local stores, most are only 3 to 5 gallon of fluid capacity and are always running hot after the first hour,seals,bearings, really take a beating on the pump and cylinder,causing leaks and pump failure,valve leakage,so having extra fluid takes longer to heat up to high temps.

The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is.
