What size or how big of a hydraulic cylinder do I need to find.
I am around a lot of farm equipment is there anything I could use from that.
I have just about everything but the cylinder.. How much pressure does my pump need to put out? thanks a mil guys.. Jim Reeves
 
The size of the cylinder and the pressure of the pump depend on eachother and the tonnage you want out of it.
