I have a Grand L3010 HST that is rated at 7GPM hydraulic flow.
I am looking at purchasing a mulch spreader for blueberry rows that requires
10gpm but the manufacturer says it will work fine on 7GPM. The hydraulic flow
moves the floor that moves material towards the exit. I have rented similar units
and had the experience that the floor moved too fast and I can adjust ground speed
if my flow was inadequate. The rented unit ran its own hydraulic pump from my pto and I
dont' have any experience running a unit of hydro only (and none available to try).
Has anyone experienced real flow rates for the L3010.
I do know that I have been frustrated at the speed of my rear mounted log splitter
It uses a large 12 ton piston and both the split and return seem slow.

You can measure your flow rate... Open a line and check how many gallons you get in 15 seconds... multiply that by 4 and you will know the gallons per min.

You can get a 3k pressure gauge to see if your pressure is low. KennyV
