I bought a log splitter for the 3-point and find that it seams weak. I say weak because the wedge gets stuck in hard logs. I figure the logs are some kind of Oak, but I am not sure. My tractor is a Kubota L3830. The splitter has an old John Deere cylinder on it, but I don't know much about the specs other than the rod size. The rod is 1.5" in diameter and the cylinder O.D. is 3.75". I'm told it is a JD cylinder due to the stop valve built in the end of the cylinder. I have it plumbed in by way of quick connects, to the same lines I use to run the back hoe, so I figure I should have enough flow.
I am wondering if I need to change the cylinder out or do other troubleshooting.
Advice on this will be appreciated. I can take measurements or pictures if they will help.
Thanks,
Chris
