Simple enough, Pipe linked to a 2 way valve, one way to a Header tank of Oil with a breather and a second to Q/R Pipe for tractor

What man as done, man can do, what never has,maybe
Just lift it all it will do is try and create a vacuum in the pipe and ram but because there is a largeish volume it wont be a problem

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better

Mog,
Is there not a risk of actually sucking air in to the ram when you lift it?
Any air inside would then prevent the ram closing fully unless you had sufficient weight to compress it.
Not sure if this is of any practical consequence.

it is a possibility Rob ... air will find its way past the seals with enough vacuum to suck it in .... Rory's idea of a 3x1 valve and a small header is as good as any TBH

Yeah rorys idea probs a good solution. I reckon you would draw air in and then there ram wouldn't go all the way back in (actually had this tipping a trailer with loadall one day when no tractor was about). I'm more just thinking along lines of how much hassle making trailer dual purpose is if it's not gonna get that much use. Having said if you have time and you like a project..........it is a possibility Rob ... air will find its way past the seals with enough vacuum to suck it in ....

Don’t think you’ll get enough vacuum to over come the sealsit is a possibility Rob ... air will find its way past the seals with enough vacuum to suck it in .... Rory's idea of a 3x1 valve and a small header is as good as any TBH
I’ve lifted trailers before now without the pipe fitted without any problems

If seals are old enough you might. Lot of ag trailer rams aint that special from newDon’t think you’ll get enough vacuum to over come the seals

would have to work out the volume in the ram plus 10% say for a tank creation .... easy solution though

That, if I remember Gra is brand new ram that has never been used, remember using the tipping once on it, when I first got it, but then I’m sure for whatever reason, I got a new one and fitted it, but that’ll be well over 12/13 years ago.been picking it recently with out issue .. pipe is off but capped ..... or the seals're fooked in't ram

and on the subject of creations ........
one 71mm sq. internal socket
for a 70mm stub post ...... for this
now you can see where this is going
Lil' bar steward took some welding on ... lower channel is 4mm narrower than the upper ... giving a 4mm gap to fill ... vertically and overhead ...... but got it on there ..... needed the practice
can either get parked thus .... or slung in the back ...... or I might make it another socket, for elsewhere ... or wait 'til I can pick up a few inches of 80 sq x 4mm SHS ... a storage socket doesn't need to be such a condom fit
might look at the wiring next ... or try and wrestle the body off ... that one pin is gonna be a bar**ard .... but paint and leccies'd be a POP with the body inverted on the floor
