Can you shed a little more light on the economical 12v. hydraulics that virtually never have to be touched? Maybe some part #'s, pics and a video of one in action? This sounds like something I may be able to use.If anyone on here can remember my tow pig a F350 Diesel from back in the day. I bought it straight off the lot new in 2000 and lay'd it out with air and a 4 link in the rear and and hydros up front. I used a Hijacker integrated pump and put a #4 gear in it to drop the amperage draw and make it easy for the motor to turn. I ran it off the stock under hood batteries and stock alternator. I owned it for 3 years and never even put oil in it. I only ever had a problem one time. The nut holding the dump coils on fell off at minitruck nats and I had to pull in the gas station and take 5 to fix it. I basically bolted it under the bed and forgot about it. I've done about 2 dozen of these set ups over the years to never have a problem with one. You don't have to do anything special just get a smaller gear and use only one solenoid.
that shit is fuckin cool. i'm glad i read this thread i learned alot. thanks pat.
