Whatever the implement pump produces.Anyone have an idea what the flow rate might be on an L4240 third function line? Thanks.
Your the guy that pulled up the actual specification.Not 100% sure this is what you’re looking for, but the specs on the implement pump are 37 liters/minutes (about 9.8 gpm) as per this link. Grand9 L 40 Series Glossy
Edit, well looks like Dan helped us out, this is what you’re after.
Going to get you a “Lame” Shark?Thanks fellas! I know very little about hydraulics on a tractor. That appears to be what I'm looking for. Right now there's no application, but it's one of those bits of info that may come in handy. There could be something with a small hydraulic motor as part of a project, etc.
Honestly not sure what could happen. Knowing the flow rate is a useful piece of information though. There have been times when some sort of LS or sickle bar would be handy. Maybe just a motor as part of a small conveyor, some hydraulic tool, nothing planned. If something looks like it could be a useful gadget run with hydraulics then it would be time to get serious and research it.Going to get you a “Lame” Shark?
When/if you get serious I would suggest you figure about 85%-90% of Kubota's published specification. Thats the rule of thumb for gear pump volumetric efficoency. I suspect Kubota simply calculates pump displacement x RPM without any allowance for pump (in)efficiency.Honestly not sure what could happen.

Good point. I'm guessing the pressure would vary with the engine speed?You also need to know the available pressure (PSI). Not all tractors run the same PSI !!!
No.Good point. I'm guessing the pressure would vary with the engine speed?
"Learnin" good thing.Looks like I'll need to do some "learnin" before embarking on a project
