I guess you mean it's slow with a power pack, but I would have thought with at least 12hp and a two stage pump you could get a decent speed.

Hi we made a power pack using a old dumper diesel twin engine with its coupled dowty hydraulic pump it drives a 3foot ram is quick and will split most things. A dumper is a cheap source of hydraulic power plant and you could mount the splitter on the dumper so that its mobile.

I got a complete pto power pack from a local guy who bought it at mod sale,

He could not get it working with the oil in it, I offered him £90 he took it, he bought it for £400

You just plug the hydraulic splitter straight in.

 

I now run the spitter off the mf35, on about 1000rpm good speed on the ram. And it sips the diesel.
