If your starting from scratch and are looking for parts to make a portible unit then get yourself a Grangers and McMaster Carr Catolog.
Also try Northern Equipment Company.
All the above have web sites.
You may be thinking about an engine powered unit but try looking into the following; I live in New Hampshire and some of the pick up mounted snow plow rigs use a battery powered ram to lift the plow.
The ram is Hydraulic but the motor is mounted right on the base of the cylinder. You could mount a switch in the cab of the truck, make electrical connections to the battery then to the control switch to the unit mounted on the equipment to be towed (no messy oil hoses). You could use a connector similar to the type used for electric fork trucks to allow the ram to stay with the impliment and still break the connection when the work is completed.
Ever try to connect to a raised empliment with pressure in the cylinder?
If you really want the hydraulic system to stay with the vehical and run remote hydraulics instead. Look into the hoist systems used for light duty dump trucks. There are electric and mechanical systems availible which run the hoist remote from the pump system.
Good luck with your project.
