Hi,
To all Ventrac, Steiner owner, I have a question..I have a log splitter.The engine that power the splitter is 6 HP Briggs & Stratton Quantum,The engine is no longer working. I was thinking if I would modify the hydrolic hole and make it fit onto auxilary hydraulic.Just want to know if the hydrolic pump on the tractor is powerfull enough to split the log?and what problem that I might run in to?I have a Steiner 425 with a kubota diesel 22 Hp engine.

here the spec on the Log splitter-->

25 ton maximum splitting force

• 6 HP Briggs & Stratton Quantum series industrial/commercial gas engine

• Cylinder is 4.5" diameter X 24" stroke

• Two-stage 11gpm hydraulic pump

• 18 second cycle time

• 33 quart reservoir

• Spin-on, replaceable oil filter

• 72" Vertical Height / 42" Horizontal

The auxiliary option does not have enough flow to operate an attachment like a log splitter. That is why you see the loader, auger and reel mowers with their own hydraulic pump.
Figure out how to attach a pump to the front pulley and use that to operate the splitter. Many Steiner dealers and owners have done just that and come up with their own attachments. Generators, power washers etc. Good luck ....
