- tz18da 110fel 54mmm log spliter 48" box scraper 13 hp external mosquito sprayer
I have had my tractor since 170 hrs and love it (250 on it now). I bought a log spliter to run off my hydro lines for the fel . it has a 36" ram with a 2.5 inch bore . it splits the small stuff but cant quite get any of the large ash split. the wood is 2 years old and realitivly dry . it bites into the wood about 1/4 to 1/2 inch but can't pop it . i had a local hydro shop come down and check my pressures at the ram and they read 1700 kpa under load . reading my owners manual it states it should read around 1880 kpa give or take a little . the problem is this difference would short me about 1000 kpa of force onto the spliter head which would problley make my log splitter sing like a georgian chore !!! :licking: so naturally like a good tractor owner we tryed to adjust the pressure relief valve in the control but there doesnt seem to be one . it must be on the tranny by the output lines .. this would make sense because it would protect the power steering and other hydro lines . any ways to get more pressure out or tricks to log spliters would be great i could up load pics tommorow if it would help .!!
