We have a homesteader 14,000 lbs rated dump trailer that has twin cylinders. It came with an electric hydraulic pump that ran the 2 cylinders, and boy was that thing slow (what would you expect with 2 3" diameter cylenders)? Anyway, we got tired of that and bypassed the electric pump and hooked up the tractor's hydraulics straight to the dump wagon. It still works great, but that is with a 6610, 7610, and TN65 fords adn newholland. My suggestion is to get either an engine mouted hydraulic pump with a seperate resavor, that way you can have a seperate system. The other option I would consider would be a PTO mounted hydraulic pump. These will probably be harder to find in a salvage yard, but easier to take on and off. The only reason I don't like electric pumps is because the electrical system can be an expensive nightmare. The chargers, marine batteries, and all the other bells and whistles they put on them anymore are pricy. Ours would only dump about 3 times on a new battery, but the cylenders where double acting. Anyway, my point, stay away from electrical systems unless you will use it on a truck (one that can pull it :)). Good luck and let me know if you need any help.
