One other big advantage to putting hydraulics on it. Our machine is mounted on a portable stand with wheels. The base is wide and the heavy motor and tank are mounted low. The thing is dead stable, even with a long piece hanging from it. Not using it? Roll it out of the way instead of having it bolted down in the way. Depending on what you are doing, you need plenty of clear space around the machine. Being moveable is a big advantage. Plus, we can pull a 90 in 1.675x.083 4130 in about 20 seconds if you're in a hurry.
