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.
