Have you cleaned the oil cooler rad? Its a small radiator mounted just in front of the water radiator. If it is fully caked up then is could be causing the oil to overheat and loose its viscosity.
I know I worked on one of these before that had similar problems after a major brake failure. The brake pads basically sheared and bits went all through the back end. They ended up blocking the back end filters and then you had issues like the steering turning on its own and hydraulics being very slow. Is it possible that the logsplitter had very dirty oil in it? First step would be to change the back end filters. If you see an improvement straight away I would run it for a week or two then change the back end oil and the filters again. I'd also try and blow through the cooler rad if you are doing this to make sure that the rad isn't blocked internally.0 -
