I'm trying to come up with a way of having the cylinder on the side, so I can have a nice 8' stroke. Maybe with a 5x8 rectangular tubing. Only 4" cylinder at 3000 pounds, idea being if I use a small 6" knife I just need to cut half the post I think it should split. Bad idea, go for 12"?

I'm also trying to figure out the power supply, I have a 24hp 18gpm pump, I think I would like to upgrade to a 2 stage. What is the largest horsepower 2 stage pump? I was on a hydraulic surplus page and seems they are all made for low horse engines
