Thanks Greg, I'm sure that's not a "quick" calculation! I think even with Machinery's at my elbow it'd take me a full evening...
It sounds like I could safely go to 20 tons, 44,800 pounds, I may scare myself first time I use it though!
Your advice is worth several times what I paid for it, by the way...
Now I need someone who knows hydraulic power packs to chip in, I've seen 1 gallon (US or Imperial? there's a 5:4 ratio...) per minute at 1500 psi per HP quoted, would it be safe to divide though, 3/4 gallon/minute at 2000 psi?
