To further complicate things, you could always plumb the "dead" line from the cylinder into the fill tube on the belly pump. Fill the "dead" side of the cylinder with oil, so when it goes up it pushes that oil into the belly pump, and when it goes down it sucks the oil back out. That way, the belly pump is always full.

The problem with 1-way hydraulics is that you have to have enough fluid in the reservoir to fill the cylinders, or you won't get the job done. If you've got a 3-quart reservoir, and it takes 4 quarts of oil to fill the cylinders, then you're screwed unless you do as I describe.

2-way hydraulics don't have that problem because there's always oil coming back from the cylinder to take the place of the oil you sent to the cylinder.
