Has anyone tried to use a log splitter with a BX22/23?

The dealers that I have talked with say that the BX does not have the power needed.

Any comments welcome!

Thanks

It's has power (a bit on the low side), but it really lacks speed (only 5.5 gph) so it is very slow. A log splitter really needs at least 11 gpm and pressures around 2500 psi. The BX only provides about 1850 psi. The alternative is to get/make one that uses a PTO driven pump.
