Im needing the specifics for buying a Hyd Cyl, 2 way, that will lift 1500#. Ive seen them on E Bay, but I dont know what I need to be looking for
 
As ET said below, Force = Pressure x Area of piston.
Area = Pi (3.14) x radius squared, or Pi x diameter squared / 4. If you have a 2" bore cylinder, the area would be 3.14 square inches, and at 2000 psi, that would be a little over 6000 pounds of force. If you need 1500 pounds of force, and your oil pressure is 2000 psi, you would need approximately a 1/2" bore cylinder.

Be sure to check length/stroke. If it is to short when retracted (bucket dumps over backwards when retracted) the moving piece might hit or break something or bind from going to far back. To long retracted movement wouldn't return completely. To short when extended the part being moved might not go far enough to do the job(like a loader bucket that don't dump). To long extended(not as big of problem, just have to add stop) might push pass limit of unit also causing damage.
 
Need more information to better help you. Do you need a 'standard' 8" stroke farm cylinder for am implement?Or something else? What are you lifting? What tractor are you useing? A standard 3" or 3 1/2"x8" is sufficent for most ag applications.If your tractor is an older model with a lower pressure system,you may need to go up to a 4" diameter cylinder.
 
Im wanting to use the cyl as a replacement for my center adjustable link on the 3pt of my 1960 990 D Brown tractor, to put round bales on trailers with my 2 prong bottom hay forks.
 
You can buy ready made hydralic top links.Northern,SurplusCenter are two scourses.There are others.
