I do buy some stuff at the HF store, but a sump pump isn't something I would even consider.
I pump against the water table, usually for a few months in the spring/early summer. This year I've been pumping since January. Right now I'm around 6 gal/min, but I've had 16 before... I want a good pump. Actually, I have 2 of them in a 24" crock.
I've been running Zoeller cast iron pumps since the original from when I bought the house died. I have about 5 years on the 1/3 hp m53 that does the dirty work. I just had to replace the switch on it a couple weeks ago. Not too bad for all the water it's moved for me. I also have a 1/2 hp m98 down there as a backup. It doesn't have much run time on it, but I don't doubt it's every bit as good as the little guy.

There are a couple other american made pumps besides Zoeller. If I were you, I'd spend the money on a good pump and sleep well at night....

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
