A breakdown of how hydraulic systems work, using a SpeeCo 25 ton log splitter as an example of a simple hydraulic cycle.
The system is basically a moor, whether gas or electric, that turns a pump and pushes oil through a filter from the hydraulic reservoir tank and pushes it into the control valve, which controls direction of the flow to operate the hydraulic cylinder's back and forth motion.

I find it amazing how much power output can be generated from pushing oil through hoses.
