[QUOTE="rancher2, post: 8177994, member: 32289"] I don't think we ever tried a different cracking pressure cartridge. 30 PSI worked so that is what we stayed with. Only thing we found on one of the early ones we did we used a 1/4 hose for the pilot line and that didn't seem to work well so from then on we used a 1/2 hose. Looks like your running a oversized rod cylinder. That's the only time the dump valve seems to really help. Normally with a 28 GPM two stage pump we would run 20-30 gallons of oil and a cooler with a electric fan. We split a lot of wood in the summer as that's when we have time. [/QUOTE]
