Farmall Hydraulics Fluid Capacity

I am looking to add hydraulics to my International I-4. I have picked up a Fast-Hitch Cylinder, as well as the appropriate Valve Spool and Pump. The question I have today is in regards to the capacity the reservoir needs to be to run the Fast Hitch Cylinder. I want to make sure I make one big enough to run two Cylinders (I may want to add another in the future). Thank you for your help.
 
If it has the Liftall Belly pump for a reservoir, it will be 6 gallons. Volume of cylinders equals A=pi*radius squared times stroke. In most cases on a hitch 6 gallons will be plenty. If it is all external, 5 or 6 gallons is good, 8 gallons if also using a loader. The use of the non-pressure ends of the cylinders for added volume of reservoir is a good idea. JimN

Jim, didn't you mean quarts? On the reservoir part, I mean.

Use the biggest reservoir you can fit, wherever you plan to put it.

2 gallons is bare minimum. 5 gallons would be better, especially if you plan on cycling the cylinder frequently. The large tank of oil will help keep the system cool.
