The nice thing about all hydraulic verses electric over hydraulic is you can run it all day without having battery issues.

26.55 gallons.
My tank is about 3/4 full.
My guess would be that I put 20 gallons in and have never had a problem.
Hope this helps.

Best of luck on the crane, Its a pain in the butt to build the hydraulic tank, all the piping, hoses and the PTO pump etc.
But its all worth it when you get to use it.
I have certain customers that hire me verses my competition just because I have the crane and they dont because I can move the heavy plates of parts around that have to be welded.
So even though I dont get paid for the crane directly, I get the jobs because I do have the crane.

Originally posted by Tryagn5 View PostF550 chassis have a lot of options. Might not need any springs. Also depends on the box on the truck. Normally only do the crane side. Also u will need to set the engine rpm to 1100 to 1400. Do u know the pto speed the pump needs? I have never seen that make. Hopefully it came with hydraulic outriggers. If not add them manual one suck.

Specs.
It,s Ekegard/Dakota 6000lb.pto driven.12' closed,hydraulic out to 16' and a 2'manual pull section.Got the hydraulic up and down out riggers with it manual pull out.I as thinking of adding a bigger stack of helpers on both sides of the rear.Gonna have a buddy/bodyman of mine respray it black before I mount it.

Congradulations on the crane, You wont be sorry.
The only bad thing about your crane is that its 100' to short.
Give me some crane specs:
Make
Capacity.
Boom length
Is it telescoping
Is it full hydraulic or electric over hydraulic
As far as out riggers, The bull dog 4" square tube have worked for me.
You may need to add a leaf on which ever side you put the crane on.
