I have heard that the Ryobi 4 ton splitter can be modified such that it puts out 6 ton of force. Can anyone give me information on how to do this?

If you can figure out the NEMA frame of the motor then just upgrade to a higher horsepower motor. I do not own this splitter, but it looks like the motor is C-face mount. The frame is probably 56C. Don't let anyone tell you that gas one is more powerful as that is not true. A 5 Horsepower electric will perform the same as a 5 Horsepower gas.
Two ways to do it. Increase the cylinder diameter, or increase the pressure.

The electric 5 HP will out-power a 5 HP gas engine. Has to do with torque, and HP curve of the engine at different RPMs. Northern Tool has a coversion on electric HP to gasoline HP. I realize the 1 HP = 1 HP.
