Running a nice M7040 comfy cab with the LA 1153? loader. A lot of operations are loader intensive, filling a dump truck, moving big piles of material etc. Often if moving a big pile I'll run in low 2 or 3 to keep the rpms up help the loader speed. So the M40 pump is rated at 11 ish gpm and the M85 is rated at 17, it looks like about 16hp to drive 11gpm @ 2600 psi versus 25hp for 17gpm.
I'm not often using max pressure, just on breakout but really don't like running the engine in the upper 2/3 of the rpm range. Has anyone tried this swap?
