I just want to confirm something since I occasionally miss the obvious...
It seems to me that GPM flow from the tractor's hydraulic pump would be a function of engine speed, with max flow being reached at max engine speed.
But as far as system pressure goes, that would be set by a relief valve somewhere in the system. And system pressure when using the loader would be the same regardless of engine RPM.
So at any engine RPM, the loader will have the same lifting ability. It will just move faster if the engine is running faster.
The loader will pick up the same maximum amount of weight at any speed, and that's it, right?
I'm referring to the normal tractor open-center type system...
