Smokeydog,
Please see attached Kubota's M59 spec sheet stating hydraulic pump capacity is 26.7 gal/ minute.
rScotty,Yep. It's a perfect example of what I said back on page 3.
"Good luck for anyone trying to compare apples to apples by using advertising data. The people mixing numbers to make those advertising data sheets are masters at making their product look the best - whether it is or not. "
Purely true, and also completely misleading BS information. Implement flow is 16.2 GPM on the M59 and even though it is not to be used continuously, it is still large enough to be something they could brag about. But instead they tried to pull a fast one on eveyone by adding together all the hydraulic flows in the tractor whether accessible or not.
The Canadian spec sheet broke it out properly and so does Kubota's own shop manual.
Typical advertising BS from the industry.

rScotty,
Thanks for clarification using workshop manual. I should have looked in my workshop manual before responding to Smokeydog. Mine was knee jerk reaction.
Decide what you need to run, find out the GPM and PSI required. You will likely only use one at a time.
The 'rule of my thumb' is go big so you can easlily operate a Splitter, mower etc.
Pump flow | 9.5 gpm (36 lpm) |
Steering flow | 4.9 gpm (18.5 lpm) |
Total flow | 14.4 gpm (54.5 lpm) |
I don't believe you. .....Gordie if you can mow and split wood at the same time you are far more talented than me.
Great discussion. I hope I made the right decision. I bought a low hours MX5200 locally. Nice to be able to see the machine and talk with the owner before shaking on it.
Like any used purchase I got some of the features I wanted, not all. But it should do all I need. The hydraulic question ended up like this:
Pump flow 9.5 gpm (36 lpm) Steering flow 4.9 gpm (18.5 lpm) Total flow 14.4 gpm (54.5 lpm)
