Limb circular hydraulic saw

[Billy G]

Hi Guys,

I wanted to see if someone could help me. I have a Kubota Grand L 6060 50th anniversary. I want to purchase a limbsaw circular hydraulic saw. It says it requires 10gpm flow but mine is at 9.4gpm. I will not be steering while cutting. I also have a 3rd function as well. My question is, do I have enough juice to run this saw on an 8ft boom arm? Should I be concerned with heat? I posted the link below for anyone that wants to see exactly what I am purchasing. Thanks in advance for any information you guys can give.

Nice tractor! The link you posted has this information.

• Operates with a 10 GPM flow rate, requiring your tractor to have a 15 GPM

I suggest you contact the manufacturer and ask what the "real-world" performance numbers are when the loader is at or near max height.

Thanks. I love that tractor. Its the perfect size for me. Anything larger and I would get in trouble haha.

I apologize if this is a dumb question, but does a 3rd function add any additional gpm? I'm guessing no since that would have to do with the pump.

I will confess that I haven't got into the weeds with 3rd functions despite having them on three tractors, but they're just an electronically controlled valve that diverts oil to whatever needs it up front.
