If you can buy one for 50-100 bucks as others have suggested, definitely go that route. I made one out of a 20# propane tank..... but the thing with propane is that it makes it's way into every pore of those tanks. Even if it's empty. Even if it's been sitting for an extended period of time.... there will still be enough gas in there to give you a very exciting experience if you pierce it with flame. I washed it out with water, filled it with water then cut it like that. A hole saw would probably be a better fit tho. A 1.5" ball valve is the bare minimum to make those things work if you're trying to inflate truck tires. 2" would be better. I used 1-1/4" and it doesn't work all that well... If you do go welding on a tank I would suggest that you hydro test the tank/welds before using it by filling the tank with water and then pressurizing it. If it does leak or rupture there will be very little stored energy in the tank because it's full of water...

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
