Hi

If you let me know the Make & Model of you Tractor I can find the hydaulic flow rate for you. Most modern tractors provide ample flow, but some older ones do struggle. David Browns are renowned for low flow.

Agreed tractor data is THE source of info..

10 gals per min or 45lmin is the lowest level for a 4 inch Ram any lower and you have a slow machine.

I try to make a point of asking the machine a cutomer has?

It's all to do with the internal diameter of the ram and the working pressure.

Work out the area of the ram plunger in square inches. (3.147 times radius squared)

Find out the working pressure in psi usually 3000, times that by the area. Should now have have the amount of pounds force, divide that by 2.2 to convert to KG. Divide that 1000 and you have the amount of metric tonnes of force.

Rule of thumb.

4.0" Ram gives you 20 Tonne

4.5" Ram gives you 25 Tonne

5.0" Ram gives you 31 Tonne

Flow rate only really gives you an indiction of how quick the ram will move. 13gpm or 60 litres pm is about right for log splitters. Any lesser flow and the ram will move slower. It will still split, as the pressure is there, but not as quick as expected

Early David Brown tractors are notorious for poor flow rates. Also having an unrestricted return to the tank can help speed the flow rate.

20 tonnes is plenty for general splitting, just check the internal diameter of the ram.

Wallenstein WX Series starts at 20 tonne and goes up to 31tonne.

You need to call me, is it a tractor mount or engine model?

You are quite correct we don't a 2 way splitter. Cycle time is not every thing.

Where are you in the country? Let me see if I can arrange a demo for you.....
