As you want to be able to change the down pressure as the load changes I think you might consider a different way to achieve your desired result. Perhaps an air bag pushing on a hydraulic cylinder would be more appropriate. It would be relatively easy to size the air bag/cylinder combination to achieve the desired pressure. In addition it would be simple to change air pressure to adjust hydraulic pressure.
