I was just reading shootys thread and have a question about something he says. I didn't want to hijack that thread so thought I'd ask on a new one.

'Without a vertically mounted ram, the machine will lose power out of it's flip'

Is that true? My ram is horizontal, attached to a bar thats hinged at the back, as the ram extends it rotates upwards raising the bar. The ram is attached closer to the tip than the hinge.

Am I going to lose a lot of power this way compared to if I mounted a ram vertically?
