I agree with Highbeam and Bob. Last year I bought the 12.5hp 35 ton Husky log splitter from TSC. It has a 16GPM two stage hydraulic pump. I have not found a log yet that will stop the ram from fully extending. It will either split the log or cut it and if the log sticks on the wedge it has feet to knock it off. For several years before I used a well built homemade splitter run off the hydraulics of my fathers 95hp 806 International which has a 12GPM hydraulic pump. That tractor has the psi and flow rate to use a large cylinder so force and speed are not a problem. There was a couple logs of elm with knots the tractor splitter could not split. The 35 ton Husky splitter did it with no problem. I have never had starting problems with the engine on my splitter.
My 2 cents, an electric splitter would be a waste of money.
