    Boom won't lift

    The seals were bad on cylinder & the barrel was scored so by the time it was repaired wasn't much more to just buy new. Thanks for the idea on testing pilot system. I will have to give that a try

    Well our plan was to crush on site to save on trucking. With clean concrete we can fill ravines & that kind of thing but painted concrete they really frown upon so was trying to figure out a way to not take it to the landfill.
