I would recommend that you replace the ATF with a good Hydraulic oil.

Noisy pumps are often caused by pump cavitation.

Does the splitter have a gear pump? If so gear pumps are not great at lifting oil so it is best if the tank is higher than the pump inlet.

Other frequent causes of cavitation are a plugged filter/strainer in the tank on the return piping, and too small of line on the pump suction . Long term cavitation will ruin a pump.

On the stalling issue it would be helpful to know the GPM rating of the Pump and the actual system pressure.

If you can't find any GPM information on the pump give us the bore size of the Cylinder and the time in seconds that it takes to stroke 10" (at the normal operating engine speed. Is it PTO operated or does it have it's own small engine?
