Well guys, First off I would like to say thanks to everyone that gave their opinion to try and help out. More importantly I wanted to update everyone that I came up with a temp. solution, and it works! What I ended up using was a hydraulic pump unit off of a tommy lift. It is a unit used on a lift gate on the back of big trucks. I just happen to have a source where I was able to get the pump unit off of an old lift gate that had been discarded. Anyway, the unit has it all, it's own reservoir, a pump and it's own electric motor, and a valve body. I mounted it right on the tongue of the planter. I ran two heavy gauge wires straight from the battery. batta bing batta boom, it works. The only catch is it takes two people to operate. the valve body is right on the top of the pump unit. So my partner in crime sits on a piece of plywood spaning across the drawbar and three point hitch arms, and works the cylinder. We planted about half an acre last night, after working the bugs out of the system. Tonight we will be planting about 2 acres at a different location. And for those who were skeptical about my "little" ferguson having trouble pulling the planter, it does just fine. Matter of fact, I have been planting in 1st gear with it idled up not quite half way. I mean it's only a four row planter, plus it might help that I have it disced up real nice. Well there you all are, it works great, by next year I will have my T0-30 running and live hydraulics hooked up, till then thanks again.

Scott: I knew you could pull that planter. Great also to see inovative solutions. Better take your buddy on the plywood out to dinner though. Good show.
