Portable Hydraulic Power Pack
Dwight Shiels, Stoughton, Sask.: "I saved close to $900 by making my own portable hydraulic power pack. The unit is great for running a bin sweep or raising a field implement without the need for a tractor.
    "I used a hydraulic pump from a Massey Super 92 combine powered by a 5 hp Briggs and Stratton motor. It could be used to power a post pounder or log splitter. The whole thing is mounted on a frame for easy transport, and it weighs only about 75 pounds so it's very portable.
    "The unit cost me $125 for materials and I would have had to spend close to $1,000 to buy a commercial unit."
