Anyone done pump upgrades to newer tractors? Looking to increase from 9.5 to maybe 12-13gpm.

There is a thread about that. Someone offers a bigger pump (crazy expensive for some reason) for certain LS tractors.

The TBN member even run some tests and measured the difference between the two pumps.

Pump capacity increase from 9.5 to 12-13 gpm will increase speed of hydraulic system reactions but not increase capacity of lifts much, which are a function of hydraulic cylinders installed, not pump flow. A new pump will be expensive relative to operation speed increase.

Speed increase is ok. Mainly it will allow you to use better attachments on the front vs using only PTO attachments. Lift capacity is dependent on cylinders diameter and overall pressure, not flow. Flow does help doing 2/3 things at once.
