Yes temps are fine, never seen over 120F, with the smaller pump and motors that is.

The tank is quite small, maybe 3 gal, see attached photo. I used all 1/2" lines, and way oversized cylinders for the loads required so I feel like overall capacity is decent if you take all that volume into account? The return is on bottom and the suction is about 2" up from that. With cylinders...

Wow I was waaay off on my degrees, more like 30. I'm adding another oil tank after noticing foamyness. Will keep ya'll posted, thanks for all the input

Left side fine metering spools, 1st aux, 2nd left side motor, 3rd right side motor- through power beyond fitting to lift,tilt, rear blade, aux. I wonder if power beyond fitting is leaking. No problem hitting high psi and stalling engine with cylinder dead head.

Thank you, yes both machines have the flow control. I thought that might have been the issue and bypassed it completely and made no difference.

Thanks Dave. Here at the only specs I have, the current pump is putting out roughly 10 GPM-and that feeds the two 19cu in motors. What's strange is that the other machine which works great is running roughly 6 GPM feeding two 17cu in. motors. Something isnt right...

Main Question: Could the 2 cu in. motor difference between the two machines be the issue? Hello all, this forum helped me out in the past (thank you!) and I again need a little help. I've built from scratch two skid steer machines with various interchangeable attachments, not sure what to call...

Hello again everyone, its was a few months back when i posted for help about my creation. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/hydraulics/382900-homemade-6-wheel-drive-cart-new-post.html I have since bought a smaller pump/larger motors and it seems to be working pretty well. I have moved...

First I like to thank anyone who takes the time to help me with this. Im 35 yr old who has always loved to build random things- I built this 6 wheel drive skid steer cart to move dirt and materials around my yard (1/2 acre) which is mostly steep hillside, therefore the cart was designed with low...
