southern Illinois | I bought a cheap 5 hp honda, the plastic ones, and used a worn out backhoe pump we had laying around. mounted both to a plate, put a 2.5inch pulley on the honda and a 14 inch pulley on the pump to gear it down. Still have most of the flow ran back to the tank. Works good for loading seed in the planter but you need more power for fertilizer I'd say. Real easy to build and cost is low compared to buying a ready made one. I have an electric on of on the flow out on the down spout so filling planter is a breeze.

Ever build your own hydraulic power unit?
