Title: Troy Bilt Log Splitter Troubleshooting
Post by: jerkash on March 02, 2015, 05:04:07 PM

I have a 27 ton Troy Bilt Log Splitter that has never given me a problem in 7 -8  years.  It is a two stage.  Today it seems the Slow Stage didn't have any power.  It would only split something easy.
Hydro oil level is fine.
I'm thinking it is bypassing Hydro fluid somewhere.  The speed of the cylinder is good except when it starts to split something a little tough.  After it finally splits a piece of wood, it does fine. 
Any Ideas??

My guess is the pump is shot.

Does it have a built in or standalone pressure relief valve? Could be the valve is popping off to easy, could have a broken spring in it. Sometimes as well the springs get weak in em.

Cylinder seals could be leaking by also.
