Bit optimistic I would guess.

60 ton, 120,000 lbs, would require an absolute minimum 7 inch cylinder at 3000 psi.
Go the other way and a 5 inch cylinder is going to require 6100 psi minimum.

I'll be willing to bet he's got a "25 - 30 ton " machine at best.

But then again, what do I know maybe it's the metric system and new math?
