    What Heavy-Duty Degreaser Do You Use?

    hey @bigBucket! I hear you on the price issue—some of these degreasers cost a fortune! I’ve had good luck with Purple Power and Zep Industrial; they cut through grease pretty well without needing a pressure washer. If you don’t mind a little DIY, mixing Simple Green with some diesel can also...

    Log Splitter Losing Power

    Hi, I’ve been having some issues with my log splitter since the temperatures dropped. hydraulic oil seems to be aerating, and the ram moves jerky, sometimes stopping under load without the engine bogging down. Could cold weather be making the oil too thick? Any advice would be appreciated!
