Okay, heres my approach, but Im long retired as an EE remember so no warranty.
1) You say a 60 amp breaker and if so it will adequately protect No 6 Copper Wire THWN insulated at 75 degrees C..........
2) You say 40 feet which isnt a whole lot BUTTTTTTT its impossible to compute voltage drop unless we know the true current.....
Soooooooooo unless the load cant tolerate and causes excess voltage drop based on its current draw, No 6 copper may well suffice buttttttttt if voltage drop is exceeded (which I doubt at only 40 feet but cant say not knowing the current) then I would bump it up to 4 gauge.
6 probably but maybe 4 is all I can say not knowing the load characteristics and the current draw, Sorry

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
