Ok. I finally put this thing together.
Yeah. Either I was terribly wrong about a 2hp motor being sufficient, or the 2hp motor above is not really 2hp.
The thing works. It moves the cylinder up and down, but I can't even crush a piece of conduit without stopping the motor.
The pump never even shifts to high pressure before the motor stalls.
On retraction, using this log splitter valve, the motor chokes just kicking the valve off the detent.
So... I think I'm going to go from a 2hp 3450rpm to a 5hp 1750 rpm. That should be quadruple the torque right? Roughly speaking.
