Modify Ryobi 4 ton splitter to 6 ton???

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?

Hmmm, anybody seen anything on this?

Easiest way to increase the power would be to sell the electric splitter and buy a gas one.

sure would be nice if there was a way to modify it.

Maybe look at the hydraulic portion and see if there is any adjustment on the pop-off valve.

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.
