If i have a 9hp rather than an 11hp on it, it should still kick into stage 2, to get thru the real tuff logs tho, right?

No. It would likely stall the engine.
Hold on...i just re-read what you guys wrote. With a 22gpm pump, I only need an 11hp engine...so I should be golden with the 13hp. Cool....now I feel better.
I'll let you know in a few days because strange as this sounds I'm going to try it myself.I had a little 3 1/4" baby splitter given to me,last week,minus the engine that uses a single stage pump.It might work as it has a cutter instead of a wedge.The motor is a 3450 rpm single phase which in reality is really only about 2.8 actual HP by the amperage draw.One thing about an electric motor,they always start and you don't run out of gasoline .what do you guys think of that 5hp elec. motor, matched with a 22gpm pump, on the electric side of this splitter?
