I heard a quick clicking sound and then the cylinder stopped in mid split. I'm guessing a connection just broke. What to do? Should I pull the cylinder off and bring it to a Hydraulic shop and let them rebuild it? It is a small cylinder off of an 8-ton splitter. Or is it easier to just find another used cylinder and put it into place. I'm in farm country so there are cylinders around. This is the unit, Brave EZ split 8-ton. Any ideas? Jags? Thanks

Thanks, that sounds right - it was like the connection just broke. In the last year, I have broken the splitter's knive, the push wedge, and now this. This little Brave splitter is tough but it wasn't made for what I put it through. And I still have 15 cords of rounds sitting waiting to be split.
