Will a 1950 WD run a 3.5x8 cylinder?

Just wondering if my 1950 WD has the capacity to run a 3.5x8 cylinder or if I need to get a 2x8.

Tractors can run any cylinder as long as pressure is compatible. With the WD high pressure cylinder, you need a cyl that can handle about 3200 psi. With its low volume pump, the bigger the cyl, the slower the speed. Plus, the sump capacity limits the oil supply.

It'll do it, but you need to be careful not to put full pressure on the cylinder when it's fully extended. WD hydraulics run around 3,500 psi at a pretty low flow. As long as the cylinder is rated for 3,500 psi or greater, you'll be ok. Smaller diameter would be better as it'd go faster.
