[QUOTE="Wisconsonian, post: 7932971, member: 150618"] Easily. I replaced an 8HP gas engine with a 3 HP electric, could have used 2 as the electric is half the speed. Even at 3,600RPM a 3HP electric motor will have enough torque and power factor to run the same pump as a 5 or 8HP gas engine. If you want it to be fast, be sure to get a two stage hydraulic pump made for log splitters, it kicks into low speed for hard knots but runs faster for most of the time. [/QUOTE]
