  Jean BaileyAug 18, 2025
  If the hydraulic oil in your Tajfun Planina Log Splitter is overheating, several factors could be the cause. First, check the oil level in the reservoir and add more if necessary. The hydraulic oil itself might be worn out, requiring a complete oil change. A clogged oil filter or hydraulic pipes can also lead to overheating, so clean them. Ensure that the splitting cylinder reaches its final position, reversing the cylinders and cleaning the splitting chute if needed. Finally, high outside temperatures can contribute to this issue; consider installing an oil cooler.

  Michelle MillerAug 22, 2025
  If your Tajfun Planina Log Splitter is operating louder than usual, several factors could be responsible. For RCA 380 models, exceeding the recommended tractor revolution speed can cause increased noise, so adhere to the recommended speed. A clogged filter can also contribute to louder operation, so clean the filter. Insufficient oil in the reduction gear may be the cause, so check the oil level and add more if necessary. For RCA 380 models, ensure the machine is properly connected to the tractor, not just the P.T.O. shaft, or position the tractor perpendicular to the machine. Lastly, a P.T.O. shaft that is not lubricated can cause noise, so lubricate it appropriately.

  Ashley DavisAug 27, 2025
  If your Tajfun Planina Log Splitter doesn't react to movements of the sawbar activation handle, start by checking the machine drive. Ensure the P.T.O. shaft or electric motor is connected and in operation, as the pump and chainsaw drive won't work otherwise. Also, verify the oil level in the tank. If these are fine, the control mechanism might be damaged, requiring repair or replacement.
