Weld, hydraulics aren't that hard to fathom. Most important rule is that everything liquid must get back to the tank. Things get very hot, then they get very messy when it doesn't.
Kato is right in getting all you can from a farm boneyard. Valves, fittings, hoses, pumps, and motors are mucho, mucho expensive.
From what I read about your plans for a log splitter, is the cylinder single or double acting? That would determine the type of control valve.
All of our hydraulic power packs are capable of 5 to 10gpm at 2000psi with 20hp gas or diesel engines. We make an electric one but it it requires 240/480v 3ph to run.
I'm done hi-jacking this thread.
