thanks for all the replies guys
the main reason i want to do this is to get something quiet, and well, it sounds like a fun lil project
(you guys ever watch some of the DIY logsplitter videos on youtube? some of those are brutal)
i guess thats where i dont fully understand how this whole deal works
isnt the pump just moving oil ?
but it is blatantly obvious that 1.5 HP is quite a bit less then 5.5
but it is what i have, and if i had to go out and buy a new one that would sink this idea before it even takes off
thats hilarious...sounds like something we would do
i actually do most of my splitting and stacking along or with the boy
specially when im alone i wear my worktunes (ear muffs with bleutooth speakers build in) and just jam out
i will run out to the shed later and see if i cant find some info on the pump
(i dont recall seeing anything on there, but i havent really looked for it so who knows)
i do think its a pretty decent little machine
when i bought it a few years ago it needed a new cylinder so i might be albe to find that info
