4″ Bore x 30″ Stroke Log Splitter Hydraulic Cylinders

A 4″ bore x 30″ stroke log splitter hydraulic cylinder is a heavy-duty, double-acting hydraulic cylinder component designed for log splitting equipment, capable of withstanding up to 3500 PSI. The 4-inch bore refers to the cylinder’s inner diameter, which determines its force output, approximately 37,700 pounds (~19 tons) at 3000 PSI, ideal for splitting smaller to medium-sized logs. The 30-inch stroke indicates the distance the piston rod travels, suitable for longer logs. Typically, these cylinders feature a 1.75″ rod, welded steel clevis mounts, and a pin-through hole on the rod end for secure attachment. Constructed with honed cold-drawn tubing, hard chrome-plated rods, and high-quality seals, they ensure durability in extreme conditions, including winter. They are compatible with gas log splitters, electric log splitters, 3 point tractor log splitters and skid steer log splitters.

This log splitter hydraulic cylinder is a direct replacement for many OEM double-acting, clevis-mount cylinders. Common OEM no-modification-needed replacement for: Tractor Supply Co., Huskee, SplitMaster, Oregon, SpeeCo, and many others.

Key Features of Hydraulic Cylinder for Log Splitter

• High Force Output: The 4-inch bore delivers approximately 37,700 pounds (~19 tons) of splitting force at 3000 PSI, ideal for splitting small to medium logs efficiently, ensuring robust performance for demanding forestry tasks.
• Extended Stroke Length: With a 30-inch stroke, the hydraulic cylinder for log splitters allows for splitting longer logs in a single motion, reducing the need for repositioning and enhancing productivity for gas, electric, or tractor-mounted log splitters.
• Durable Construction: Built with honed cold-drawn steel tubing and high-tensile chrome-plated rods, the log splitter hydraulic cylinder withstands extreme conditions, including winter, ensuring longevity and reliability for heavy-duty log splitting applications.
• Double-Acting Mechanism: This hydraulic log splitter cylinder uses hydraulic pressure for both extension and retraction, providing consistent power and faster cycle times compared to single-acting cylinders, improving efficiency during log splitting operations.
• Welded Clevis Mounts: Featuring welded steel clevis ends with a 1.25-inch pin hole and a pin-through hole on the rod end, it ensures secure attachment and compatibility with various log splitter designs.
• High-Quality Seals: Equipped with polyurethane U-cup seals, O-rings, and POM-C wear rings, the hydraulic cylinder for a log splitter maintains a tight seal up to 3500 PSI, preventing leaks and ensuring smooth operation in rugged environments.

How to Replace the Hydraulic Cylinder for a Log Splitter

1. Safety Preparation: Disconnect the log splitter from power (gas or electric). Lower the splitting wedge to relieve pressure. Wear gloves and safety glasses. Drain hydraulic fluid into a container to prevent spills and ensure a safe workspace.
2. Locate and Access Cylinder: Identify the log splitter hydraulic cylinder, typically mounted between the base and splitting wedge. Remove any guards or covers using a wrench or screwdriver to expose the cylinder’s clevis mounts and hydraulic hose connections for easy access.
3. Disconnect Hydraulic Hoses: Use an adjustable wrench to loosen and disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the cylinder ports. Cap the hoses with plugs to prevent fluid leakage and contamination. Label hoses for correct reconnection to the new hydraulic log splitter cylinder.
4. Remove Old Cylinder: Unbolt the clevis pins or mounting bolts securing the cylinder to the splitter frame and wedge, using a socket wrench. Carefully slide the cylinder out, ensuring no components are damaged during removal.
5. Install New Cylinder: Position the new 4" bore x 30" stroke wood splitter cylinder in place, aligning the clevis mounts. Secure it with the original or new pins/bolts, tightening firmly. Ensure the hydraulic cylinder for log splitter is level and properly aligned for smooth operation.
6. Reconnect and Test: Reattach hydraulic hoses to the correct ports, tightening securely. Refill the system with hydraulic fluid. Reconnect power, cycle the splitter slowly, and check for leaks or irregular movement before resuming full operation.

Custom Log Splitter Hydraulic Cylinders

AGKNX is a trusted source for custom log splitter hydraulic cylinders. We offer a wide range of options to meet the specific needs of our customers, including tubing, rod plating, seals, mounting ends, pressure ratings, color options, packaging, and labeling.

• Tubing: Custom log splitter hydraulic cylinders use honed cold-drawn steel tubing for superior strength and durability. Precision-machined to a 4-inch bore, the tubing ensures smooth piston movement and can withstand high-pressure conditions up to 3500 PSI, ideal for heavy-duty log splitting.
• Rod Plating: The piston rod is coated with high-tensile, polished hard chrome plating, enhancing corrosion resistance and durability. This ensures the 1.75-inch rod performs reliably in harsh environments, extending service life and maintaining smooth operation during log splitting tasks.
• Seals: High-quality U-cup polyurethane seals with inner O-rings, POM-C wear rings, and polyurethane wipers are used. These seals prevent leaks under 3500 PSI, ensure smooth operation, and are designed for easy replacement, enhancing cylinder longevity in rugged conditions.
• Mounting Ends: Custom hydraulic cylinder for log splitter features welded steel clevis mounts at the base for robust attachment, with a drilled pin-hole on the rod end for flexibility. These mounts ensure secure integration with gas, electric, or tractor-mounted log splitters.
• Pressure Ratings: Designed to handle up to 3500 PSI, these hydraulic log splitter cylinders deliver approximately 37,700 pounds (~19 tons) of force at 3000 PSI. This high pressure rating ensures powerful splitting of small to medium logs, meeting diverse application needs.
• Color Options, Packaging, and Labeling: Custom color options, such as black or metallic finishes, are available to match equipment aesthetics. Packaging is designed for safe transport, with custom labeling for brand consistency, part identification, and compliance with industry standards, ensuring professional delivery.
