Something that's always interested me.

The BX has a single pump that runs power steering and all hydraulics. It pumps 23.5 L per minute. If you turn the wheels whilst you're lifting the 3ph or FEL then you can notice the slowdown as the power steering takes a bunch of the flow.

The B01 series has two pumps, with a total flow of 31.4 L per minute. But interestingly, if you look here, that's split 17.9 L per minute to the main pump, which means 13.5 L per minute for the power steering pump.

It looks like the BX, if you're not turning the wheels at the same time, pumps 30% higher flow rate than the B01. The B01 runs about 2000psi, where the BX is 1800psi, but my understanding is the pressure goes to how much you can lift (along with the geometry of the loader), and the flow goes to cycle time.

Do people who have had both find the BX faster to lift the FEL?
