I have a NX5010 HST. I ordered a rugged made three point log splitter. Just wondering if anyone knows what the hydraulic flow is at the rear remotes. I can't find any specs on this. I know the total flow is 17.9. But not finding anything on what the steering uses or what is available at the remotes.
Accordingly to the service manual, the NX5010 has a 14cc hydraulic pump for the loader/remotes/3pt circuit. At the 2600 engine rated RPM, that's about 36.4 liters per min or about 9.6 GPM without accounting for the hydraulics losses. In reality, that's more like 8.6 GPM or so, at 2600 RPM.
The steering has it's own pump and it's irrelevant for this application.
Further more, at 2600 RPM, it will take about 9 secs for that 4" ID cylinder to extend the 24", albeit, they limit the stroke at 20", so about 7.7 seconds.
Having ran my splitter from the remotes, I've zero interest on having that engine screaming for no reason. I used to run it at about 1500 RPM or so. That cuts the flow down some and make it operate slower.
Also, looks like the pressure for that tractor is set at about 2600 PSI, so that 4" cylinder will have 32600 lbs of force. Not quite the 22 ton they list.
