Hey Phil,

Man, that's an able looking splitter. I would ballpark the pump in the 25+ GPM range, depending on how fast it's turning. If it's not geared right, I'd be willing to bet it would easily stall the old tractor at low speeds.... It's hard to say if it's off a truck or not. If it was, it was remote mounted, which is not unusual. It certainly has the capacity.
Do get a releif valve and plumb that into the line between the pump an control valve. Princess Auto may score that for you... but make sure you can get one with enough flow capacity for that pump. You may need to go to an industrial hydraulics supplier to get that as most of the Princess stuff tops out around 25 gpm. So be careful with that. The only other suggestion I would have is that you make a 4 or 6 way wedge for the splitter. You should have plenty of power for it... and that will save you time and effort if that matters. Good luck. It looks like an able one.

Rod
