Why is the cylinder shaft speed slow on my DR Log Splitter?
- LlawrenceruthAug 10, 2025
If the cylinder shaft speed of your DR Log Splitter is slow while extending and retracting, several factors could be responsible. The oil level might be incorrect, so check it. The oil could also be contaminated; in that case, drain the old oil, clean the reservoir, and refill it. Ensure that the pump inlet hoses are clear, unblocked, and not kinked, and that you are using short, large diameter inlet hoses to avoid excessive pump inlet vacuum. For other potential causes such as a damaged pump coupling, slow engine speed, damaged relief valve, control valve leaking internally, or an internally damaged cylinder, consult an authorized service dealer.
