I'd like to solve two problems at once, but not
sure I'm looking at this the right way. I'd like
to build a log splitter and run it off my F560's
spare hydraulics. I'd also like to speed up my
loader which is something the previous owner
cobbled together from a loader from another
tractor which was shortened to fit. Part of what he did was to install two 4" diameter cylinders
on the lift arms. With the 12 gpm flow out of the
560 pump this makes for slow lifting. I thought
about replacing the two 4" dia. cylinders with
a couple of 2" dia. of the same length. The
smaller cylinders should fill roughly twice as fast as the larger ones and speed up the lift
action. Yes, I'll have less lift capacity, but
I think it will handle most of what I would ever
want to do with my 6' bucket. The 4" cylinders would work great for the splitter with one left for a spare. Any opinions appreciated.
