john deere 820
We're looking at installing a 3 point hitch-mounted (BOSS) Log Splitter on our John Deere 820. The specs show it runs about 2100 psi, but I can't find the GPM flow rate.
?Can anyone provide the GPM flow on this tractor? AND Is this a good idea to use the tractor 3 point to spit logs. Boss says it should be 8?5 GPM at 1500-2000 PSI?
Thanks in advance.

I've never used a three point log splitter, but the hydraulics on your tractor will be more than enough

While they do work, 3 point log splitters are painfully slow most of the time when run off of the tractors hydraulic system. I have seen a few that use a PTO driven pump and those seem to work better.

I think the open-center hyd's on a 820 with 3cyl engine will operate a log spitter very slowly.

Tx Jim did you get a email from me? Lee

As said the tractor hyd flow would be way to slow.

I just sent you a reply. IMHO TBN leaves a little to be desired on PM notifications as I was unaware that you had PM'd me.

An 820 3 cylinder at rated speed will make a full stroke cycle in about 30 seconds using a 5x24 cylinder. Pretty slow imo.
