I wonder if the Mammoth tires will roll on edge, sidewalls might be too soft. Perhaps stuffing the tires with plastic BB's will stiifen up the sidewalls without adding too much weight.


What makes the difference in hyd flow is the size of hyd hose and fittings. What size do you currently have on your Gator Rob? 1.5mm ID?

My current excav & wheel loader are using 2.5mm with the 350ml/min pump and cycle speed is significantly quicker, I would say more than double, than the older models with same pump & 1.5mm hose/fittings.
I do have the 1.5mm ID. Getting all this hydraulic stuff right is the challenging part for me. I appreciate the info of the 2.5mm, which is what i think i need for the grader. I ordered the biggest tank from Leimbach. Good idea on the plastic bb, was going to add some to the rear as well.
