No video found. I was going to suggest that perhaps its too cold and the hydraulic fluid is too thick to move well. Do you really live in St Pete and split firewood down there...?

Looks like air. Check the oil level. Could be a suction line restriction.

Check the pump coupler, could be slipping. Check the fluid for signs of metal contamination. If you have a gauge, check the pressure.

What kind of pump does the splitter have?

Can I assume the fluid level has been checked?

@bkrider- Did you ever find out what the problem was?


I went in to refresh my drink and found a little red riding hound in my chair. It's all good.
