    If anyone from The Good Life City is in a Vulva, it's because he stole it and is taking it to Miami.....

    Hydraulics are what separates us from the apes.

    Well, it's 1030 in the morning. I'm hungry, but too sorry to make breakfast. There is 1 banana. Question is, boys, eat the last banana or not?
    Answer is......wait for it........
    It's easier to beg forgiveness, than to ask permission.
    You're welcome

    Not on option on the little motors, but PTO driven hydraulic pump on the carhauler seems to quite down much quicker if I let it run at dead idle for a minute or two vs just letting the rpm come up right away. You'd think faster would heat things up quicker, but it stays in the cavitation phase much longer that way. Besides the whining racket, cavitation is tough on pumps.

    Thought you guys were using electric over hydraulic.

    We run pretty good size dump pumps. Never idle up. But yeah cavitation is hard on pumps

    I might would consider a tank heater if I ran up there a lot, and a split tank might help a little especially since I have fuel tank heaters.
