Whitemoss 34t log splitter

[difflock]

Quite simple to work out, assuming average older tractor (the sort likely to be driving a log splitter is (and to be generous) 2240 & (a cunning plan awaits) psi hyd pressure.

A 3" dia ram = Pi*D*D/4 = 3.142*3*3/4=about 28/4= 7sq"*2240psi/2240(lbs in a ton)=7 ton thrust.

4" will give 3.142*4*4/4=3.142*4= about 12.5 tons of thrust.

5"= about 20 tons.

Obviously PTO driven hyd pump splitters could be running at higher pressures.

but I doubt the micky mouse petrol engined hyd pumps ar running abane 2500psi.

cheers

Confused...........

 

If the posch one I just googled is 30t then agreed mine isn't 30t

 

But in pic 2 they advertise these as 30t which mine is prob as heavy duty as these maybe more!!

 

I'm no log expert but I'm happy with my machine it's only a toy for my small stove lol [ATTACH]154251[/ATTACH][ATTACH]154252[/ATTACH]
