[jdkid]

Hi ya's
here one for ya's ..what is the flow rate from most compact tractors from QC's and have most have a detent..what for i hear ya ask..well i have just got a bale wrapper for doing small bales it needs a min of 6 liters per min at 35 bar (bout 1.5 uk gals per min )i have two ways of doing this 1 hire/buy a hydro powerpack or hire a small tractor ,the tractor would be the better of the two as the wrapper is 3 point linkage it need cat2 and tractor needs to lift 700lbs + if anyone can give any ideas that would be great
thanks

That's a low flow rate - any tractor should handle it fine. Most have several times that rate. Even my old Ford 8n (1952) put out 3-3/4 gallons per minute, I think.

Hi ya
yea thats what i would think but i know some guys have mounted these wrappers on up to 120 Hp tractors talking to a hydro guy a power pack would have to have a 7 Hp motor with 15LPM pump 60 Lt tank to run things well ..this set up would also run a log splitter with out boging down to much ..it's not only the flow it may come down to oil tanks or storage so small amounts will heat to fast ..
