{This is alos on the Tractor TAlk Board....just wanting to get everyone's input}I am about to start working on my senior design project (ag. engineering) at Texas A&M and think I'm thinking of designing a self contained hydraulic unit. This would primarily be used to lift discs, shredders, mowers and other implements that require hydraulics to be lifted, so that they could be towed behind a pickup. Something like an engine and a hydraulic pump to plug remote cylinder hoses into that could be portable and easily lifted onto a pickup truck bed. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this at all (I CAN'T copy anything) Thanks for your help guys.

Don't want to burst your bubble, but there are all kinds of companies out there that will provide commercial hydraulic power units. This technology is old (eg. Char Lynn provided power units 50 years ago). For something current look at robotic computer driven machines that use pressure and flow compensated power packs to accomplish complicated tasks. For example, have you looked at the European made LELY robotic milking machines. Yes I mean you don't have to be there when the cows are being milked. They have been sold in Europe for several years and are now being imported into North America. I suspect they may be at the Farm Progress Show in Indiana. There are other examples such as the computer driven functions on combines, cotton pickers, sely propelled sprayers etc. Some aspect of computerized robotics would be a challenging senior ag engineering project.

Did see a design for a 3 pt hitch. Basically you tow it with a truck. It has two wheels, and a motor on it. The motor runs the hydraulics and you an pull any 3pt attachments with your pickup. >Link

Neatest one I ever saw was a guy pulled all the wheels off a B jd or something and bolted it to the box of His pickup. The old b was of course worthless but ran, and supplied hyd. power, weight AND a PTO so He could use His pickup to haul in silage. I saw it in FARMSHOW Magazine couple years ago.

Could accomplish exactly what you describe using the snow blade lift pump most 4x4 PU's around here (upstate NY) already have on them. Simply provide a selector valve ahead of the blade cylinder, and a 4-way valve and plumbing to hydraulic Q/D fittings mounted beneath the rear bumper. Also would need an auxiliary reservoir (a couple gallons at least) to supplement the tiny reservoir usually supplied with snowblade systems. Won't lift fast as tractor hydraulics, but for picking up and hauling implements down the road it would work fine - and would be cheap to install.

dont want to break your beat, but there is one in my Quality farms catalog. it uses an 8 horse engine, 6.5 gpm pump, and a 1900 psi valve.

Sounds a lot like a Log Splitter. Seriously, I believe a log splitter unit would work.
