Over the years I have been given, collected, salvaged , OK so I never throw anything out, some assorted cylinders, log splitters that work off the tractor hydraulics, some electric motors up to two hp, and a shelf full of power steering pumps, not to mention some 12v pumps and motors for plow or dump bodies.
Has anyone made a hydraulic power unit that can be used to drive an impliment such as a wood splitter, portable hoist, hydraulic winch, etc using power steering pumps? I am talking low budget, learning experiences.... Seems that the average PS pump puts out over 1000psi and about 3gpm at 1000rpm. I could use that on a small dump trailer or maybe hook two in parallel for a "one man" wood splitter....
