    What to do if wood will not split on my Troy-Bilt LS 27 Log Splitter?
    • S
      Sean MunozJul 31, 2025
      If the wood won't split or splits too slowly, several factors could be at play. Make sure the pump inlet hoses are clear and unblocked. Check the oil level and, if contaminated, drain the oil, clean the reservoir, and refill. Also, avoid attempting to split wood against the grain, as this can overload the cylinder.

    Why is my Troy-Bilt LS 27 cylinder shaft speed so slow?

      Rachael SandovalAug 5, 2025
      A slow cylinder shaft speed during extension and retraction can be caused by several issues. Ensure the pump inlet hoses are clear and unblocked, and use short, large diameter inlet hoses. Check the oil level. If the oil is contaminated, drain the old oil, clean the reservoir, and refill it with fresh oil.

      If the cylinder rod isn't moving, start by checking the oil level. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses, remove any shipping plugs, and then reconnect the hoses. Ensure correct engine/pump alignment as necessary. Flush and clean the hydraulic system to clear any blockages in the hydraulic lines or the control valve.
