find the specs on the pump and ram as there is no standard for the "30T'" rating
It seems like it's kind of similar to watts/rms on speakers, cheap ones give big watts and have bugger all rms, good publish real watts and have actual rms
trouble here is what is real???

Well it's all down to the specs of the pump and the cylinder bore....
Most pumps will do around 3000psi max without issue, some do 3500 and some a little more....2 stage pumps will do that but will hi flow in the first stage making for quicker cycle times.....
Just multiply the max psi by the cylinder bore and that will give you its exact tonnage...
eg....a 3000 psi pump and a 155mm bore (6") the math is as follows...
Area = pi by radius squared
Therefore, A = 3.141596 by 3
Area = 28.2743 sq. Inches.......multiply that by psi and that equals 84,822.9 lb of force
Convert to metric ton = 38.475 ton for a 3000psi pump with 6" bore
3500psi pump = just under 45 metric ton..

The white honda seems to be the light duty model, but 3 year warranty is still pretty good. And the price is good to. Splitting force however is closer to 22 tonnes and thats still optimistic. But it should split most hardwoods no problem.

Pumps will do high pressure no problem, thats what they are designed for. However every hydraulic system has or should have a relief valve or you will blow hoses/seals in the first 5 minutes. The majority of the commonly used control valves have their relief valve set at around 2500psi to be on the safe side. Also chinese hydraulics are usually only rated at 3000psi max so if they were smart they wouldn't be running their splitters anywhere near that for warranty issues etc.
So as a rule of thumb you can almost halve the advertised tonnage of your average splitter on ebay etc to get the true value.

It's each to their own!
When I was in the local saw shop spinning spanners, 1 of the local pro's came into the Drs next door.
Been drop starting for years, his 394 locked up on compression causing it to brush his left shin bone.....17stitches later he was good to go.
The saw never fired, so was not even running when this occurred, twas a nasty gash,Oregon cjx chain if my memory serves me correctly.
Cold starts on the ground 4 me, hot start between legs
We all know the safety issues involved with the drop start yet most rear handles have no where to fit a man sized boot and I also start with the handle between my legs but being a bloke with odd proportions this also can be an issue

How many is 'all'. any thing up to $20 each flat out more q
Is it going to come to more than the $50 for a OZ racing grinder or ~$100 chicom(511) alloy plus a jakmax wheel and polish with file if needed
For mods like shims' and clamps Check out the harbor freight grinder thread and the like,
I just got a tecomec speedsharp and after mcw fixes me up with the wheels I'll still have change from$200, otherwise they were on my radar
Unless the shop has a silvey

Just solder another crimp on the end or solder the wire to the switch, put that self tapper screw back on the earth and bobs your uncle, no need to replace the whole wire.

Thanks Neil, I'll do thatJust solder another crimp on the end or solder the wire to the switch, put that self tapper screw back on the earth and bobs your uncle, no need to replace the whole wire.
It looked like it had been soldered directly 3 times before, now it won't reach, the earth screw is on the bench as well. Just had it out to clean it up
3120 top end and a 35 tilly behind with the red intake tube,,,,,, 
for certain.
