I honestly don't know, because I'm not familiar with the roper pump. However, I would think a little modification to the system maybe needed.

I’m starting at a local company tomorrow. Our gate control is the “5th wheel slide” switch. Say I’m unloading clean asphalt, when would I release the gate? Before I start lifting the end dump? Or after I’ve started lifting?

Might be late for a reply, but it costs around $500, depending on how you plumb it into your air system. You can keep the PTO you have but have to swap out the plate that the cable goes into now for one that is air controlled. It's an easy swap.

If you press clutch does it stop the load at its height or drop down? If your half way up and put in neutral does it stay at that heighr ??

@jrichtruckincbtips

Yes, pushing the clutch will stop and maintain the height. Putting the pto stick in in neutral will stop and maintain the height as well. Pushing the clutch in and put the trans in gear and releasing the clutch to creep forward (without putting the pto stick in neutral) the bed will continue to raise while moving forward.. This is how dump trucks spead gravel. This is not recommended for dump trailer, just Tandem dumps.
