is this pump flow suitable

[bobcat fan]

i want to use a 16 hp diesel to drive a 8 gpm pump at 2500 psi but i would like to know is 8 gpm enough flow to drive 2 hydraulic motors and 4 hydraulic rams

it is for the tractor I'm building in the build it your self section
thanks Andre

HP=PSIxGPMx0.000583. So 2500x8x0.000583=11.66 HP. You probably have enough HP depending on other loads on the engine. Not enough information to answer other questions

The speed of the hyd motors is determined by the displacement of the motors and flow available. So if you have the hyd motors already, you need to compute the flow required to give a certain speed. If you need a certain speed on the hyd motors, work the formula to compute the displacement required.

Use the formulas in the tech help section of
