Heavy-Duty 19 GPM Hydraulic Pump for Faster Log Splitting & Dependable Performance
Restore or upgrade your log splitter's hydraulic performance with this 19 GPM 2-Stage Hydraulic Log Splitter Pump. Designed for high-flow hydraulic applications, this replacement pump combines rapid cylinder movement with the high-pressure capability needed to split tough, stubborn logs.
Featuring an efficient two-stage HI/LO design, the pump automatically transitions between high-flow, low-pressure operation and low-flow, high-pressure operation based on hydraulic resistance. This allows compatible log splitters to achieve faster cycle times without requiring an excessively large gasoline engine.
With a published maximum pressure rating of 4,000 PSI, a 1/2-inch keyed drive shaft, and a 90-degree suction fitting included, this hydraulic gear pump is an excellent option for repairing, replacing, or upgrading compatible log splitter hydraulic systems.
The pump is also suitable for custom hydraulic equipment, including presses, compactors, and clamping systems.

How the Two-Stage Hydraulic Pump Works
A two-stage hydraulic pump offers an efficient combination of hydraulic speed and splitting power by automatically adjusting its operating characteristics according to the resistance encountered.
Stage 1 – High Flow / Low Pressure
During normal cylinder travel and lighter splitting applications, the pump operates in its high-flow mode.
-
First-stage flow: 16.5 GPM
-
Published first-stage pressure: 650 PSI
-
Helps provide faster cylinder extension and retraction
-
Ideal for low-resistance movement and lighter splitting operations
Stage 2 – Low Flow / High Pressure
When the splitting wedge encounters increased resistance, the pump automatically transitions to its high-pressure mode.
-
Second-stage flow: 3.6 GPM
-
Published second-stage pressure: 2,500 PSI
-
Provides increased pressure for splitting tougher wood
-
Automatically returns to higher-flow operation when resistance decreases
This two-stage hydraulic design helps deliver fast cycle times while maintaining the high-pressure capability needed for demanding log-splitting applications.
Ideal for Log Splitter Repairs & Upgrades
This 19 GPM hydraulic replacement pump is designed for use in properly matched hydraulic systems and may be suitable for various log splitters using similar pump configurations.

Important Installation & Compatibility Information
Before purchasing this hydraulic replacement pump, verify the following specifications against your existing equipment:
-
Engine horsepower is sufficient for the pump's flow and pressure requirements.
-
Drive coupler accommodates a 1/2-inch keyed pump shaft.
-
Pump rotation matches the required clockwise direction.
-
Pump mounting configuration matches the existing mounting bracket.
-
Hydraulic suction line accommodates a 1-inch inlet connection.
-
Pressure line uses a compatible 1/2-inch NPT fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size engine is needed for this 19 GPM hydraulic pump?
The manufacturer specifies a minimum 9.5 HP gasoline engine with a compatible horizontal output shaft and direct-drive configuration. Engine requirements may vary based on operating pressure, RPM, and hydraulic load.
Can this 19 GPM pump make my log splitter faster?
Potentially, yes. A higher-flow hydraulic pump can reduce cylinder travel time when properly matched to the engine and hydraulic system. However, actual cycle time depends on cylinder size, engine RPM, hydraulic components, and operating conditions.
Does this pump automatically switch between high and low pressure?
Yes. The two-stage HI/LO design automatically changes operating modes based on hydraulic resistance. The high-flow stage supports faster cylinder movement, while the high-pressure stage provides greater force when the splitting wedge encounters tougher material.
Will this pump fit my existing log splitter?
This pump may fit many existing log splitters, but compatibility must be verified before ordering. Compare the original pump's drive shaft, rotation, mounting-hole spacing, hydraulic connections, flow rating, and engine requirements.
What is the maximum pressure rating?
The pump has a published maximum pressure rating of 4,000 PSI. However, this is the pump's maximum rating, not necessarily the appropriate operating pressure for your log splitter. The hydraulic system must be operated within the limits of its lowest-rated component.
Does the pump include the suction fitting?
Yes. A 90-degree right-angle suction fitting is included to help simplify installation and hydraulic hose routing.
Can this hydraulic pump be mounted vertically?
The pump can be mounted in vertical or horizontal orientations when the complete installation meets the manufacturer's requirements. It is intended for direct-drive operation with a compatible horizontal-shaft gasoline engine.
What hydraulic systems is this pump compatible with?
The pump is designed for open-center hydraulic systems. It should not be installed in a closed-center system without engineering verification of compatibility.
Does this pump include the engine coupler or mounting bracket?
No. The pump is supplied separately from the engine coupler and mounting bracket. These components may need to be reused from your existing equipment or purchased separately.
Is this pump suitable for a custom-built log splitter?
Yes. This 19 GPM two-stage hydraulic pump may be used in custom hydraulic log splitter builds when the engine, cylinder, control valve, reservoir, hoses, and couplers are properly sized and matched.
Why Choose This 19 GPM Hydraulic Log Splitter Pump?
Whether you're replacing a damaged hydraulic pump or building a custom log splitter, this 19 GPM two-stage hydraulic gear pump provides an effective combination of high hydraulic flow, automatic pressure adjustment, and durable construction.
Its efficient HI/LO design helps deliver faster cylinder movement under lighter loads while maintaining the pressure capability needed for demanding splitting applications.
