Hi all
I have a Massey 188 and would like an experienced opinion on how to power a loader. I understand that I can use the existing 3-point pump via a diverter/spool valve setup, but my concern here is that the articulation will be horribly slow as this pump, I believe, has plenty pressure, but a slow rate of flow?
If this be the case, then I will need to fit an auxiliary pump and reservoir and wonder what rate of flow in gpm/lpm would be ideal. Also where could I best source the power - off the crank pulley via a single/double vee belt drive, and will this be adequate to avoid slippage and squealing? My engine (Perkins A4.248) already has a brand new power steering pump occupying the geared output which, otherwise would have proven perfect for this application.
I have very good mechanical and fabrication skills and well understand the principles of hydraulic systems, but have zero knowledge of how to correctly select and match non-standard components to achieve a satisfactory result.
Any one with knowlege of hydraulics' opinion would be most appreciated.https://cdn-0.tractorbynet.com/forums/images/smilies/2/thumbsup.gif

Yeah, 11gpm is plenty for a FEL. Besides, how often will you be using both, the 3ph and FEL, at the same time? :confused2: My Ford has a valve/spool combo to divert flow to either or both my 3ph or the rear remotes and any where in between. :dance1:

OK thanks i7win7 and Tinhack. That will be perfect and save big $$$! I doubt I'll ever use the 3PH and the FEL simultaneously - way above my pay grade, LOL!
