Hi guys,
I have a Powerhorse 3pt splitter coming. It should show up this week.
Last year in installed a Power Beyong rear block on my B2910. The in and out ports on this block are 1/4 in NPT. I installed 1/4 in hoses and added a Pioneer 1/4 quick-connect coupling.
The tractor output from this block is 4.8 GPM and the 1/4 hose sould support up to 5GPM based on what I was reading. When I started looking for quick-connect couplings I noticed that in the 1/4 size some can be as low as .5 gpm, and most don't exceed 3 gpm.
I will move everything up to 3/8 quick-connects which support 6 gpm.
Is this what other people have done? I guess I hadn't thought about how much a quick-connect would restrict flow.
