    Pretty impressive. Nice old International engine and a beefy looking hydraulic pump.
    It also looks like it might be easy to modify it to go all the way vertical or horizontal.

    It's interesting that it looks like the intake and return both come in and out from the top. I'm assuming single stage pump? Shouldn't be underpowered for torque!

    Extreme duty

    Nice barn wood wall & double stall door left uncovered by new metal siding.
    Adds a great touch of age & history . :yes:
    Bet some memories there.

    Look at that old truck! Beautiful! You guy's and your dry climate can really pizz a guy off back east in the rust belt.
    I'd make a nice shop press out of the one in the truck.

    To me it looks sort of like swatting flies with a hammer.

    Wow, that is heavy duty. I hope he is not splitting off the beaten path. Looks like you bring the wood to it, not it to the Wood. I would love to see the cycle time.
