I scrapped together a log splitter using a pump from a commercial lawn areator. It is a self contained unit meaning the reservoir and the valve are one unit. It's belt driven from the Kolher engine. Their are no markings on it so dont know who makes it and there are not adjustable settings visible from the outside. On the Aerator it actuated 2 small 1 inch dia rod cyls. It works fine. For the splitter cyl I have a Heil made one that has a 1.5 dia rod. The cylinder is 3 inch dia. and 20 inch long. It was recently redone so has all new seals etc. Problem is it wont split. When I try it will only push the log barely a half inch into the wedge. Thats it! So how do i know if the Heil cyl just doesnt have enough snot or if the valve has some setting that prevents ful pressure?? something like a check valve setting?? I cant find any pressure specifics on the Heil given the numbers stamped on its tag and the pump has no markings to search for info on. It came off an aerator made by OMC. Any advise is much appreciated. (I dont have a pressure guage to check with yet) If I did how would you read it?
