Hydraulic Flow and Pressure Tester?

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Need to quantify the L/min/gpm and psi/bar pressure out the back end of the tractor...

 

Any ideas?

 

Don't really want to part with £3k for a one-off reading...

Thanks.

If you are happy to write down pressure and flow readings and set the pressure by constricting the flow with a valve then a pressure gauge and Hydraulic flow indicator from webtec may be cheapest. I used these to prove the pump was cavitating on a tracked chipper.

Dio you not know of a friendly agri engineer TCD? Our (relatively) local guy will do a flow and pressure test for the price of a few beers if you can get the gear to him....

As above TCD you need a flow/pressure meter but be prepared for a big disappointment, things can be very different when everything is toasty hot. Cant see how they can get to 3k for a few minutes work but if you get stuck you can borrow mine.

Yeah soz, £3k to buy when I had a quick search?

Google tractor data and enter make and model of tractor, it should give hydraulic flow in l/min Gal/min and pressure. If not put a pressure gauge on back end and up the revs. You can borrow mine or I will drop in when passing next

Tractor data has its limitations! Like new data vs ancient tractor. Basically decides whether implement will be plug-in or pto. Thanks re offer...

I bought a generic pressure tester off ebay and an inline one from webtec that I have a few different adaptors for. Im sure its not as goot as a full combined unit but the whole lot was only a few hundred quid. Iv found it fsirly useful to have for setting up implements etc as well
