Last one I remember seeing 6 years ago held about 100-120 litres ? Mind you you shouldn't need a hives tank as long as all Rams and pipes are full then you need enough to keep the oil cool and to fill the larger sides of all Rams I.e when all extended and probably 20 litres on top of that as safety don't forget to leave ullage room for expansion of oil as it heats up !

Can anyone tell me what size oil tank I would need for a botex 560

Currently running on tractor hydraulics, want to put it back to pto pump like my old trailer but not sure how much it would need to hold,

Cheers

 

About 1.5 times the pump output per minute plus the difference between all rams extended and fully in. Tank needs to be taller rather than wider and return must be under the lowest oil level.
