Ah..., but you don't really need the back and the front controlled by
pistons do
you?

I would think that keeping the front hinged and the back actuated would
give you
what you want.  With two pistons ganged together, you can achieve tilt down,
level and tilt up.  Then you have four more pistons to do whatever you want.

You really don't *need* both sides actuated, but it allows one to raise the
platform as well. Not really necessary, I suppose.

I presume you mean two pistons ganged end-to-end. I think this would work
much better, but so far have not found any really good ways to do this
without putting undue stress on at least some of the connection. Do you
have a good geometry in mind?

It just so happens that I have a good geometry :^)

Very true. I'll have to try that. Thanks for the idea!

Sure.  It is always a pleasure to talk to you Mike.
