Is it ok to mount hydraulic pump above reservoir tank? Has anyone out there built a splitter with the pump above the tank? I see a lot of retail log splitters with the motor and pump mounted above the tank. But I know they recommend the pump be at the same level or lower than tank. Would I need to have a closed system (no breather cap) in order to have the pump above the tank? And would you have to prime the pump some how?
Thanks everyone for your advice.

Here are photos showing where I would like to mount the motor and pump. The tank is the green thing the motor is sitting on.
