Possibly not enough power for all of them?

wow, and not using a computer.  It would be pretty cool if the controllers had potentiometers instead of just switches.  Like most hydraulics you can move all hydraulics at the same time but they would be very slow and not nearly as powerful.  Any videos of this picking up a car?
