Mecedes Actros

[Madd Trucker]

I am   building  the Italeri  Mercedss  Actros    with  the  Italeri   dump  trailer    where   would  the  hydraulic  tank  be  located on the   truck for the  trailer   any help in this would be    great

Either on top of the frame behind the cab or on one side of the frame rails if there is space for it.
You might have to extend the frame some to get it to fit and as the Actros is only a 2 axle single drive Euro spec tractor I would consider making it a 3 axle single drive with a pull or push axle or a 3 axle dual drive as a dump truck will go off road.

thanks  for   the  reply  Force   now  to   find a   Hydraulic   tank

[Madd Trucker]

also if mounted on the  frame behind the   cab   how is it driven

[Force]

Well the tank is just a tank so you need a hydraulic pump, it's usually driven from a PTO on the transmission...PTO is Power Take Off...so you need a feed line to the pump and a high pressure line from the pump to the trailer, and a return line back to the tank.
Something like this.
