After my other wood splitter was stolen I need to build another one. To save expense I could use duel cylinders. I'd need a 5" single cylinder or duel 3.5s to nearly match it. Duel 4"s would exceed a 5" by 7 tons at 2700 psi. If I used duel cylinders could I put one on "float" and only pump fluid to one to provide faster cycle times except when I need the extra power. I plan to power this with an 18 hp Briggs&Stratton Vanguard donated from a Cub cadet lawn mower. What pump would be a good match?
