Just recently bought a Countyline 30 ton splitter from TSC. Getting a little concerned about the heat it is producing on the cylinder and trying to figure out if this is normal. Did some splitting for less than 2 hours and outside temps are in the mid 30's. Took a temp reading on the cylinder and if what I used is accurate, it showed 170 degrees. Couldn't touch it for more than a second. Supposed to have AW32 oil in it and it is where it should be. Granted some of the pieces was a little tough. Maybe I am just used to my old one which got barely warm. Now the new one has has a faster cycle time and rated at higher tonnage which I realizes creates more heat.
If it is getting this hot in cooler weather, what is it going to be like when it is warm outside? How hot is too hot? I am going to talk to the guy at TSC and see what he says about it. Trying to find out if this is normal or not. The lines and tank do not get as hot as the cylinder, they are pretty warm but not hot like the cylinder.
