I have a mechanical shear I want to convert to hydraulic. Has anyone done this before and if you have please post any helpful advice. This is an 8ft shear capable of cutting up to 1/4" mild steel. I plan on just running hoses from the shear to the tractor and putting a valve on the shear to keep costs down, or until i find a reasonably priced hydraulic pump.
thanks!
