Hi; Canadian Tire sells 4,6, 9 ton Yardworks splitters, all with a 1.75 hp 15 A motor.
Would the higher ton unit run slower?
I have no experience with hydraulics.
Yellow Birch cooking tonight cheers Doug
 
Yes, if the power and pumping rate are the same then the only difference can be the piston area, a larger piston will generate more force but move more slowly.
