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.
link is to a 50 ton splitter from Amazon,so you can see the specs for it.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
