There's lots of threads about comparing these two machines, but one thing that's always perplexed me is how the 1430 is able to generate 50% more PTO hydraulic flow than the 425 (12GPM@2500psi vs. 8GPM@2500), when it only has 5 more rated horsepower...
Obviously one is a diesel and develops its power at a lower RPM, and the torque curves are different, but threads on this forum suggest the traditional pros and cons of gas vs. diesel fall down when you are talking simply about true developed horsepower being applied to a hydraulic pump at the engine shaft.
So, where does the 1430 get its extra gusto from?
