Opinions on hydraulics, please (lengthy)

Posted by MeAnthony on July 04, 2005 at 05:58:06 from (64.12.117.13):

To add live hyd.s to a Farmall M, what do you think of a belt-driven pump as opposed to the factory live pump? I've got a catalog with a belt-driven pump for approx. $225, specs: 40.4 gpm @ 3600 rpm(max), 4000 psi(max). I think someone spec'd the factory setup to be 1200 psi, 12 gpm?

Tractor duties currently are garden plowing, driveway maintenance and mowing.

Accessories I plan to add to the tractor: 3 pt., Farmhand F11 and power steering (in that order). Will this belt pump run this stuff?

On the 3 pt., how useful are 2-way cylinders? I see where it would be great when grading the driveway, but other than that is it useful?

Anyway, thanks to you all for your time,
Anthony.

P.S. Anyone know where there's a decent F11 near Michigan?
