I am thinking about building a log splitter. I wanted to get about a 8 HP motor and match it up to a 16 gpm pump. Is there a difference or advantage to getting a two stage pump? I know of a "truck" PTO pump that is 16 gpm, but not a two stage. Would this be a better pump for a splitter? And could the 8 HP motor handle this pump? It should have better cycle times than a two stage pump, right? Thanks for your replies!
