The first project after I get my building done is to build a firewood processor. I've found a bunch of sites showing the basic layout but they don't give out much detail on the nuts and bolts inner workings. I'm always looking for anything hydraulic that I can use for different things I might want to build and what I am looking for now is a cylinder to use for the splitter part of the machine. The ones that are shown on the different sites seem to split well but as I said don't give many details of the type and size cylinder they use. Also I was wondering what size pump do most of these things use to run all the different parts of the machine. I come across pumps all the time and have a few laying around but they are small and I don't think they would supply the volume needed to run the whole processor. I was just wondering what to look for when I'm out looking for stuff to use for this type machine. Thanks....
