    My air over oil power drawbar

    There seems to be a big interest in power drawbars for the TTS system. This is a pic of my unit that I have been running for a few weeks. It runs on 75 to 80 PSI and has a drawbar pull of about 4000 lbs.
    I designed this system for affordability and relatively low air use. I think most people rather not use over 80 lbs air pressure. It is going to be a less expensive alternative to Tormachs triple cylinder.

    Thanks guys, I plan on offering these up for sale if there is enough interest, just need to put it thru a few thousand more cycles. The unit will be complete and ready to run with Hand valve and tubing for $700.00. All you need to provide is a air regulator from your compressor.
