JJ wrote something in another thread that made me think of this.
I have 1/2 inch hose from my front remotes to my rockhound. The tractor hose connection is 1/2" NPT Pioneer type quick connects.
As I understand it, the flow max for 1/2" hose is 12gpm? Are those 1/2" QCs bottlenecking flow, such that I'd get more out of using 1/2" female x 3/4 QCs (hose end will obviously stay the same). From what I've seen, a 1/2" Pioneer QC has a flow rate max of 12gpm, same as the hose, but not sure if that's right.
It would cost a bit of money and pain to switch everything over, but I'd do it if it were worth it. What do people think?
