My parents gave me an old wood splitter that they no longer use. Its been sitting uncovered out in the weather for the past 5 years. You operate the splitter by connecting the hoses to a tractor's hydraulic system. The hoses are pretty checked and weathered and will probably need to be replaced. I recently bought a new Kubota tractor with rear hydraulic ports and was told to keep the ports and hoses clean so as not to introduce any dirt into the hydraulic fluid. Because this wood splitter has been sitting unused for many years, I'm concerned that there may be rust or other crud inside the hoses and cylinder. Should I be concerned about this and if so, is there any way to flush out a hydraulic cylinder? Thanks for all responses.
