Thanks Vinny, that helps and reassures - I was shooting for 10 tons from a home-made ram, I may consider a bigger bore and more tonnage!
The Fenner power pack I have has a cutoff switch at 2000 psi, so I'm basing it on roughly a square inch of piston per ton, I was originally thinking a 100mm bore would give me around 10 tons but could probably go to 150mm for around 20-22 tons although it would be pretty slow-moving - that may be an advantage, though!
If I could get 20 tons with a gauge reading of 2000 psi that would be pretty convenient for one so intellectually challenged...
EDIT: 136mm (5-3/8") bore would do it, 20 tons showing 2000 psi on the gauge, and I have stock big enough to make a 4" stroke ram...
