I have an Altec Aerial Boom, goes up 30', like is on power company trucks, mounted on a trailer. Currently it uses my tractor for hydraulic flow only, 2 hoses quick connect into rear ports and the controls are all on the side of boom and another set in bucket. I bought it already put on and adapted to trailer. It has a reservior tank and filter setup with 2 lines coming off it from factory that are capped off and not being used. Guy bypassed I guess and setup for tractor. I would like to convert it so that has its own hydraulic power so I can just use truck to move it around. Would love to have 12V electric but gas would also work. The ones you rent are electric so I was hoping to be able to convert to electric. Specs show my tractor as 8 GPM and boom works fine with tractor idling. Not sure what I need to adapt and I know someone on here can help. Thanks
