    How to measure hydraulic pressure?

    No. Pretty much the same Force fast or slow. A FULLY warmed system may lose some force/pressure at idle because internal system leakage of the hot thin fluid will cut into the low flow available - thus limiting the ability to build pressure and therefore force. Any system pumping enough to...

    Standing on Platform on FEL?

    I imagine that in lightly loaded lifts most hydraulic/leak/burst failures happen at end of travel. Lowering the relief valve setting temporarily should lessen the risk on a people lift.

    Hydraulic flow numbers

    With either given motor the lowering of torque with that motor as flow decreases is because flow has to supply both motor motion and leakage through the motor. If there were no leakage both of the motors would deliver their characteristic Torque -- ~1200 vs 1900ft-lb@ the 2500PSI relief setting...

    Hydraulic flow numbers

    This is probably with the hyd fluid fully warmed. The fluid is thus thinner allowing more bypass/leakage in the motor and preventing building good high pressure across the motor. You should be able to get near the full ~2300 ft-lb torque at the lower flows when the fluid is cool and thick. Itll...

    Air Compressor Performance

    Hi. I have an IR TS5 80Gal. I checked and it does 0-170PSI shutoff in 6m59s. Its a 10yr old original setup. The motor is 5HP, Service Factor 1.15. I saw that someone mentioned using engine oil in a compressor. I did this with no problem in single stage compressors but got a prompt surprise when...

    It would be interesting to figure out what proportion/combination of factors put you over this edge; Stale unrefreshed consciousness and skill, Unscrubbed 5 mo oxidation on the tires, Cool stiff rubber, Cool road surface.

    Quality of Hydraulic Fittings

    I exclusively use the Jic fitted double braid hoses from SC. They have a very high pressure rating. I have many in service and have never had a failure. My only complaint is that the outer sheath weather cracks from sunlight sooner than I like, allowing the steel braid to rust. I use BoeShield...

    Tire loses inflation when turning.

    36psi is a good pressure to prevent the likelihood of "de beading" or partial thereof during side load while turning - esp if you are using a loader. Inadequate pressure will allow the bead to "work"/move under load and its all downhill from there. You may be experiencing this - in which case...

    From sound only, I perceived less than optimum gearbox lubrication with #2 after prolonged smooth usage. Chop a few trees with it or hit a couple cinder blocks and its all better for awhile.

    Rotary Cutter Bush Hog Gear Box Leaking

    I find that #2 is ok when the bushog is used in shock producing situations often. Too much smooth running is not optimum as the grease stays pushed away from gears and bearings. I like #1 or 0 which almost flows. TSC economy grease is ~ #1.5 -- its seems to work well. Convenient.

    Water in the 600' line will reverse direction each time the pump turns off when the RV is using water. Some delivery effect will be noted at RV. Probably not too big an issue unless hammer develops with abrupt cutoffs in RV usage. A small surge tank at a convenient point that adds some...

    Well pressure tank: Does well-side supply line pressure match tank pressure?

    Submersible well pump went out, thoughts?

    Hyd stabalizer lever

    It sounds like the spring centering mechanism for that valve spool is malfunctioning. I have no experience to deal with that - sorry. Are you sure there is nothing externally blocking the motion of that lever near the point where it enters the valve body? You may have to remove a cover to see.

    Applying pressure to the fingers would be trying to lift the pressure plate. Essentially riding the clutch. This would favor the clutch slipping. There should be free play at both extremes of the PTO lever travel.

    Im pretty sure my 2010 has the same kind of mechanism. The PTO lever rests in the declutch state. As you throw the lever it operates the PTO clutch, then engages the PTO gear, and then releases the clutch. Thus there is no long term involvement of the PTO throwout bearing.

    It is to be expected with the thinner air and consequently lower compression heat. There will also be a slight?probably unnoticeable loss of power even when warmed because each lungful is a little less air than at sea level. At full load there is more likely to be an excess fuel condition -...

    Best way to remove all methanol from tires.

    You might want to consider it as a first resort. That corrosion is there because the beads are not making a perfect seal and they then allow an oxygen - CaCl interface.
