Cheer's, Neil.

Hey Neil, the pump is made my a guy in spain. I haven't run it yet to get the cylinders to work but hopefully when my new ones are done I will be able to get some pressure readings off of it and let you know what kind of power output it has.

Now that I've got my radio setup to where the pump only runs when I actuate the servo's for the valves I'm not too worried about prolonged wear on the motor or excessive heat.

I can currently run the loader around on the floor with just the track drives and when I want to operate the pump I flip a switch and start toggling the right stick for the hydraulics and the pump runs.

I'm hoping to see about 140-160psi out of the pump at full power but that will be dictated a little later once everything is built.
