    A lot cheaper than I thought it would be. Being 8 litres capacity, it should be able to run a couple of 75mm X 200 rams.

One is from a hoist and looks like the one on my hoist that has two large rams. There are a few options.
    I am no hydraulic expert but my understanding is that most tractor hydraulic systems run around 3000 PSI, while Enerpack style cylinders are rated for around 10,000PSI, like the pump that has been linked to. I think that you would have plenty of oil delivery, but only around 1/3 the pressure. This may not be a problem, especially if you only plan to work on thinner materials.
