That's a great idea too. The only downside is I don't know much about hydraulics and I don't have any hydraulic pumps/motors in my boneyard, but I like the idea of putting the generator on a trailer since I have plenty of M105 trailers that would be perfect. Can hydraulic motors really run at 1800 RPM? Are they relatively efficient? Obviously a driveshaft with no extra gearboxes is 100% efficient so it would be hard to beat.
