IF you tractor hydraulic pressure is only 1200 PSI and splitter cylinder id is 4 inches you are only getting about 7.5 ton ram pressure...(you only care about push pressure)... Even increasing pressure to 2000 PSI will only give you about 12.5 ton.... Most stand alone splitters with only 6.5...

Your $150 MIG machine aint going to cut it..... You are going to need a full 120/140 amp machine for that sort of project....

And what is gauge of cable you are connecting generator to transfer switch..... Bottom line with 30 or 50 amp generator ( maybe 10KW) you need to cut back on what is turned on in house....... IF you were to have 20-25KW generator you could turn everything on....

Funny thing... Have new FIRMAN 7500W generator, and to stop it has fuel shut off valve Its dual fuel either propane/NG or gasoline, and when going from gas to off it instantly kills engine (electrical shut down), no way to shut off fuel and let carburetor run to dry it...

Kinda got to disagree with you there.... At least on my two JD mowers....

What bothers me is everybody is saying filter is in hydraulic circuit which I interpret as high pressure side.... Confused as to whether filter could stand 1700-1800 PSI... Would seem to me filter would be on low pressure return to tank side, or suction side....

Depends I guess but there is also (other than mechanical torque multiplier) as torque wrench extension.... Are we talking a bar or socket extension...

And another thought, how may people are really conscientious about the few drops of oil in air tool every once in a while.....

If that is so why do torque multipliers state in instruction how to apply torque (with a torque wrench) above and beyond the rated value of a torquench to tighten nuts and bolts....?

Actually if you do a real research torque wrench "calibration" is sort of myth as most are within reasonable limits to be accurate enough for just about everything but space agency devices.... Was a few good youtube videos a while back showing several different wrenches in differing conditions...

AGM batteries (not necessarily brand specific) are probably more robust than standard plate batteries, well worth the extra cost.... Had one actually last about 20 years...

You obviously have not worked much with chain..... One places hooks on top plate of bucket with closed end forward..... Placing on back with open end down mean chain can/will fall out of hook if there is slightest slack in chain.... Remember what gravity does and any loose chain will take...

That is just INNERDUCT.... Actual fiber cable is much smaller and pulled in when all the innerduct is connected to appropriate building/fixtures....
