The Hydraulic Powered Wood Splitters are available as either engine powered tow behind models or tractor mounted and tractor hydraulics powered models. Several of the tow behind versions are capable of slitting wood in both the horizontal and vertical position; there are horizontal only models, and either a vertical or horizontal tractor mounted model. The engine powered models use ultra-reliable Honda Engines, and tractor mounted units easily connect to your tractor's auxilliary hydraulic outlets. We have a model to fit your needs whether for home use or commerical use.
Formula is: 3.1416 x cylinder rod radius squared x Length of cylinder = Volume measured in Cubic Inches
Cubic Inches convert to Gallons at 231 cubic inches per one gallon.
The volume in gallons will be the volume that fills the cylinder on the extension stroke. Dividing the output of either your tractor's hydraulic pump divided by the volume required when extending the cylinder will give you the time for the stroke on extension, and then multiply that by 2 for total cycle time and this will give you a good measurement for cycle time.
Here is an example for the model 310 on our web page: www.wikco.com/wood.html
3.1416 x 4 inch cylinder rod diameter divided by 2 = 2 and then squared = 4 x length of cylinder (24 inches) = 301.44 cubic inches
301.44 cubic inches divided by 231 cubic inches = 1.3 gallons volume in cylinder
Now lets use the minimum 10 gallons per minute required to efficiently operate this unit - so 1.3 gallons of volume on the cylinder extension stroke divided by 10 gallons per minute pumping capacity = .13 minutes, 60 seconds per minute x .13 = 7.8 seconds for the extension stroke at that volume, multiply x 2 = 15.6 seconds total cycle time, this will give you a good estimate to compare different models by.
The last variable is pressure. On the logsplitters we also give the pressure required from the pump as well. If your pump also meets the minimum pressure requirement, then this estimate will be accurate.
An increase in gallons per minute will decrease cycle time, a decrease in gpm will increase cycle time, and again you want to be above the minimum recommended shown for each model
If your hydraulic capacity doesnot meet the minimum we show then you need to look at a different model of splitter from our list to match to your tractor, or consider an engine powered model.
Features/Specifications - Trailer Mounted Models 500 Series
Please Note: Models with 48 inch long cylinders are considered special order and will require 3 weeks before shipment, other models are usually in stock.
To split the log you must hold the lever on the control valve down; at the end of the cycle you can push the lever forward into the auto-return detent position where you can let go of the control lever. The cylinder will automatically retract and then stop in the starting position.
While the cylinder is returning you can be loading another log into the splitter.
