ya it looks like i may just have to do that. i would stay with the actuators but they don't last long . at lease in my hands, i tend to use my models ALOT!! , and i tend to wware them out. and im thinging of building a new excavator and thought it would be cool to make the new one hydraulic.

the big thing is between rent my 1:1 car gas food and life 3-400 bucks for just a pump is a bit much and i not even talking about the valves either. for about 300 i can get all the firgellis for that and have it running. see my problem?

I do see what you're saying! I'm fortunate because I have saved and bought a lot of tools over the years but if you've looked at any of my builds I'm sure you have noticed that I try to make as much out of junk as I can. I'm a hoarder of sorts but I've never had a lot of money and to me old scraps are invaluable sometimes! I am in the same boat as you right now with my skidder. I want to just buy the cylinders for it and be done with it but there is 8 of them so it isn't cost effective for me to do it that way. I guess I have to save some more $$$$ or get my butt into the shop! I don't have patients for either right now though!

10bar isnt much and if you expect to go out and dig virgin ground you will be sorely dissapointed, at such a small size there is no real cheap way of doing it apart from making the parts yourself. Alternatively you could build something bigger and pick up an industrial pump and valves like izzul did for the cost of a leimbach pump.
