I made a homemade log splitter and I am trying to run it off my Farmall M beely pump. I mounted a 2 way valve on the splitter. I have 2 lines comming off my standard M. 1 for pressure and the other going into a T on the vent/fill for the belly pump. I am using quick couplers to hook up the log splitter. I lock the hydraulic lever for the pump with a vice grip. Pretty standard stuff. I have it where the cylinder moves back and forth on the splitter but it does not have enough power to split wood. The one problem I see is I have fluid comming out of the fill/vent on the M when I try and split but I am thinking its because I over filled it. But it seems like there is alot of fluid on the ground. Another potential problem is my cylinder might be to small but I am not sure. Its a 24" stoke with a 1 1/2" shaft and a 3" body. Can someone tell me if this cylinder is to small or should I beable to split some kind of wood with it. And I am sure the M has the power but maybe not. Am I missing something or can someone tell me what it might be? Thanks
