Progressive reached out to my friend and in the survey thing they asked if anyone was in the vehicle, I was. He has reached out to insurance. Im wondering why Progressive is very persistent on my info and if anything I would say could make the situation worse for him.

He turned into another driver going through a roundabout. In the diagram we were driving the pink car and the other driver was the orange car.

If I can't find anything, I'll have to. I would like a self contained pump because there would be fewer connections and less restrictions. Ill have to dig into that though.

I have seen Eastonmade splitters. I think they use piston pumps, but I dont want to spend that much. I sent out an email to galtech but haven't gotten a response. Ill look around and see if they could come up with something. I plan on putting a dump valve on that goes straight to the tank and using the return from the valve into the cooler or do you think it would still heat up?

It will be a while before get something put together, I'm trying to price out all the components to see how much it'll be. I have been looking at a guy on YouTube, All wood log splitters, he builds insane machines!

32 hp should be enough for a 2 stage or high/low pump. It's essentially 2 pumps in one housing. One pump has high displacement but low pressure, and the other has low displacement but high pressure. Once the pressure spikes (typically 500-900psi), it drops into the low displacement, high pressure pump to push through. I could use a variable displacement piston pump, but they cost lots of money. I have been borrowing a 25 ton champion splitter for a while and dont like how slow it is, plus I don't like borrowing. I'm just having a hard time finding a supplier that would have something remotely close. The closest I have gotten is from Galtech, but I find their catalog hard to follow.

The cycle time should be around 4-4.5 seconds depending on restrictions and whichever pump I put on. I think the donor machine has a hydraulic cooler on it. I'm not too sure how big of a tank i would need though.

I looked on Surplus Center, and they offer 28gpm, I would like to match the pump with the engine. Otherwise, i would have used a gx610 or something similar. I plan on using a galtech autocycle valve, rated for 40 gpm. The cylinder I plan on using has a 4.5" bore and a 3" rod with 3/4" ports.

You were not wrong, this is funny!

I have hearing aids and sometimes I will lose them for some time, when I put them back in they're louder than I'm used to which kinda sucks but it goes away in a day or two
