Subject: Re: Live power and large grain carts


Central, IA
I did the math for a friend a while ago that was considering doing that. Here is what I came up with.

"I'm guessing your wagon needs a minimum of 125hp to run. That is probably an underestimate.

1 hydraulic HP = GPM x PSI/1714

125HP * 1714 / (2750PSI) = 77.9 GPM. There will be pressure/power losses, so this theoretical GPM is probably low. How big is the pump?
According to my chart, that would take a 2" hose.

But remember, I'm an AST grad, not an engineer."
