Measured BX23 remote hydraulic flow

[uncaged]

Last night I finally hooked a hydraulic flow meter to the remote ports on the back of my BX23 with 750 hours on it. At full throttle, it's 3.75 GPM.

The only references I ever found were that the system made 5.5 GPM, but it always seemed like my hydraulic projects ran slower than expected. Guess that explains it.

Hopefully, this information helps someone else looking for actual hydraulic GPM flow out of the backhoe ports.

I believe the BX have a single pump with a priority flow control for steering. The steering circuit takes priority so the flow out the remotes is what is in excess of the priority setting.

Those numbers seem reasonable
