In a discussion of a log splitter problem a guy is complaining that the new motor is the problem with lack of pressure. I say that the motor has zip to do with pressure as long as the motor is not stalling and that his problem is in the pump/hydro system.
Guy 2 insists that the proper rpm is required as the rated rpm is needed to develope pressure, i.e., run at idle, there won't be enough pressure to operate the ram. He is basign that on an 80% efficient pump.
That seems totally at odds with my, admittedly limited, experience. While there may be _some_ degradation of pressure at less than rated rpm, I doubt one would even notice it.
