Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

The pump you have is especially good for log splitters. It has two
pumps in one case. When the pressure needed is low, both pumps are
used and you get high volume. When the pressure needed is high, only
the smaller pump is used. This reduces the load on the engine.

Unfortunately it sounds as if you need a low flow all the time for
your second application. Without knowing what you are doing , it is a
bit difficult to make the best recommendation. But you might look at
some surplus catalogs and pick out a smaller constant flow pump and
maybe use an electric motor. The electric motor will run slower than
the gas engine so will slow down the speed of the cylinder. THe
smaller pump will also make things move slower.

Thanks for your reply, Dan. I have looked at a smaller pump but since
I don't know the displacement of my current pump, and the
manufacturer's website doesn't seem to have it, I don't know how small
is too small. I thought about using an electric over hydraulic system
but since I have a lot of money in the log splitter, and since I don't
use it, I thought I'd get some use out of it and save some money.

I'm putting in steel piers under my concrete foundation to fix it.
The house is built on clay and it varies elevation pretty wildly
depending on the weather. I'm in north central Texas, so we get some
wet times and some very dry times and it's hell on the house, cracking
walls and brick and such. It's 20k to pay professionals to do it,
it's about 5k of materials to do it myself.
