Splitter benchmarking

[gooseflight]

I'm troubleshooting a tractor hydraulic issue. Would you expect a 10 tonne hydraulic splitter to split a gnarly, well-seasoned lump of holly? It's dense old stuff. Other bits from the same stick weren't a problem.

No experience of Holly but knarly knotty hardwood lump can make a bigger splitter struggle. Therefore I would say probably not even on two way split.

In a word - no

I would expect it to get through it somehow. My old processor had a 6.9t splitter and it would split everything. Not necessarily straight through the middle though, I would often have to whittle away at it.
