B7300 with 3 point splitter

You can get an idea of how it will work with a little math. Lets say you use a 3.5x20" cylinder with a 1.5" rod. That cylinder has a volume in the extend direction of about 0.8 gallons (I think). So figure ballpark 12-13 seconds to extend the entire length, assuming you have the full 4 gpm. You can expect it to be a little slower under a load. To retract figure about 11 seconds since the rod takes up some of the volume, it should come out to about .7 gallon on that side. I make no promiss my numbers are accurate but thats what I come up with, rounded of course. Keep in mind that its not real often that you will need to extend the entire length, most logs I split pop apart a few inches in. Some of the stringy woods though I have to run to the wedge.

The diameter of the cylinder off my HF splitter is 4 3/8 inch. I never timed the stroke but if I had to guess 12 seconds each way would be about right.

Thanks, I bought the HF unit today for my B2630 ! Now I just need to figure out the quick connect type and hose length.

I put the HF splitter on my BX-24 and love it. I put long hoses on so that I don't have to mount it, and I made a wheel kit so that i can hand-move it around the barn. Check out the link: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/158895-harbor-freight-3-point-log-new-post.html
