Ram size vs Pressure and power

[Wee Jim]

I probably could of gotten a rod made up but it's a bank holiday weekend and I live 40+ miles from Aberdeen where anyone that could do that is and by the time I have got it in and fixed and back again I have lost a weeks work! So it's the lesser of 2 evils!

Sounds like the piston's come off the end of the rod ......... as in snapped off!!

Know what you mean, but seems a hell of a lot of ££££s for it. Reckon a rod'd have been 'praps £150 max
Still ......... back in biz, as they say

I will strip the old one some time and show my finding for the class. But all I know is just now I can pull it out no bother so it's fairly snapped inside the cylinder!

Well ? still waiting ? or did you break your phone too boss ?

The nephews Jake broke the ram on the q hitch, same thing pulled the piston off the rod. We tried everything before finally opening the ram...... Was convinced it was the spool valve, then the electrics
