Hydraulic pressure question

[Dan Maynard]

Is that what is called "a two staged pump"?

Mine has a two stage pump, as openspaceman says it means it moves fast with no load (especially return stroke) and slows when it hits resistance. I think ultimately as mine is a single phase electric drive I'm limited by power, you can do different stuff if engine driven like I guess the intensifier.

Thanks all. It was the calculations i wasnt sure on, turns out it is that simple!
 
It'll be for home use, and i can be selective with what i take home.
Typically straight, relatively knot free birch, spruce and pine, sub 60cm diameter.
 

Easy split with 6t.
