    Why is my Brute YTL-015-691 Log Splitter cylinder rod speed so slow?
    • Y
      yangdanielAug 2, 2025
      The slow cylinder rod speed when extending or retracting in your Brute Log Splitter might be due to several reasons: * Insufficient oil to pump. Check the oil level in the reservoir. * Air in the oil. Check the oil level in the reservoir. * Excessive pump inlet vacuum. Inspect the pump inlet hose for any blockages or kinks. * A damaged or leaking control valve. In this case return the control valve for authorized repair. * An internally damaged cylinder. In this case return the cylinder for authorized repair.
