[quote="mkirsch"](quoted from post at 07:05:38 10/08/13) Unless you're trying to purposely grow old sitting in the seat of the tractor, you will have the engine revved up some for lifting and lowering the loader anyway, so frankly, tapping a couple GPM off for the steering is no big whoop.
You've got the IH live pump, right?[/quote
My problem with this is it works "in theory" with a perfect system. Let the system get some years or hours on it and it is not nearly as efficient as a when it was new and everything was "perfect". As long as the priority valve works right, the first 2 to 2 1/2 gpm will always go to the steering. I can tell you from experience with my 240U and Char-Lynn steering, that below about 1/3 to 1/2 throttle there is nothing left for the rest of the system to operate, or operate as it should. Now on my tractor, the loader has a crankshaft driven pump, so it's no problem, but the steering and 3 point run off the live pump. I loose my 3 point anywhere below about 11-1200 RPM, and the same could easily happen with the M w/live pump and PS and loader. Granted the M may have a bigger pump than my 240U, but the loader will still slow a lot and I think the engine would need to be revved to full throttle.
BTW, what is the capacity of the M live pump at full throttle, or 1450 rpm.

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
