I built mine for about $800 using an old lawnmower engine/frame and parts from ASC and Northern tool. 16 gpm on low pressure and high pressure is about 20T with a 4" dia x 30 stroke cylinder. It was a fun project. I posted pictures of it on the other farm site.
The pump was only $200 and required a max of 11hp for full power. I already had the cylinder and the splitter frame and wedge which I was driving with my Ford tractor with about 7 gpm and got tired of waiting for it to cycle. My mower has a 15 hp which was plenty. The rest was just nickel and dime, pump to engine adapter, LO couplings, hoses, adapters, QDs, control, storage tank, filter, pressure gauge.
The thing to keep in mind is large diameter, short length interconnects.
