You will be happy with the TSC unit. My little tractor has only something like 5GPM at 2600RPM. I run my TSC splitter at about 1800RPM and it is fine. You do NOT have to run the ram all the way. If your log splits after the first 3-4 inches, then just reverse the ram and go backwards. I have to run it the entire distance only about 5% of the time. A typical split involves 3-4 inches forward, stop, reverse and run 3-4 inches back, remove the split wood, add new log and repeat. Putting a log on the splitter, splitting the log and removing the pieces takes less than 15-18 seconds. As far as I am concerned, this speed offers a safety factor. There is no way I want my hands near a wedge moving several inches in less than 1-2 seconds which is the speed some people want. One split second of not paying attention could cost you a hand. I would prefer that the wedge take 3-5 seconds per direction.
There is a loud satisfying crack every time that oak log splits cleanly in half.
The leg set is worthless. I run mine on the 3PT without legs and the splitter rests on a small furniture dolly when not in use. I had custom length hoses made to fit my JD quick connect power beyond. Also, don't forget to get hydraulic fluid when you buy it.
