have a ck2610. Happy with it (except for BH departure angle ... another topic). I'm making some hydraulic mods/additions and am not finding much specific information on the pump.
Tractor is rated at 11.7 GPM. That is shared between the hydraulics, steering cylinders, and HST.
Pump picture below. As labeled, one line goes to the FEL/RearRemotes/3pt. Another line snakes up to the dash; I assume this heads to a valve controlling the steering cylinders. And a large, low-pressure pipe underneath being the return from the transmission case.

- are these two 'circuits' fully separate? IE two separate positive-displacement pumps that simply share a drive axle and a source reservoir?
- assuming they are separate, is there an accurate spec on the rated flow for each? I read that ~4gpm is reasonable for the HST leaving ~7.5gpm for the hydraulics ... what's the actual spec?
- is the HST chained behind the steering? Or the FEL/etc?
