Why is the wood not splitting or splitting extremely slowly on my Briggs & Stratton Brute YTL-140-473?

  There are several potential causes for this issue. It could be due to insufficient oil to the pump, air in the oil, or blocked hydraulic lines. Check the oil level in the reservoir and inspect for any restrictions in the hydraulic lines. A damaged control valve or an internally damaged cylinder could also be the cause, in which case you should return the control valve or cylinder for authorized repair.

  The slow cylinder rod speed might be caused by several factors. It could be due to insufficient oil to the pump or air in the oil; in both cases, check the oil level in the reservoir. Another cause might be blocked hydraulic lines, so check for any restrictions. If the cylinder is internally damaged, return it for authorized repair.

  If the cylinder rod isn't moving, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, check the oil level in the reservoir, as insufficient oil to the pump can cause this. Second, blocked hydraulic lines can also be the culprit, so check for any restrictions.

  If the valve isn't staying in detent or kicking out, the detent setting might be incorrect. Remove the plastic cap on the valve and adjust the detent kick out pressure.
