6600 Ford with 7310 loader

I have a 6600 Ford That came with a 7310 loader.
It does not go up and down very fast. In fact its really slow. I know this is not the loader that came with this Tractor and probably has larger diameter cylinders than the original loader would have. I think the pump on the tractor is only a 9 gal per min pump. The loader cylinders are 3 inch diameter. If I put smaller cylinders, say 2 1/2 inch would it speed things up a bit? Also the loader is plumped of the rear outlets, would it help to get a direct flow manifold ( sold here) and run to a dedicated valve for the loader. I realize this would reduce lifting capacity. This is a back up loader tractor for feeding 1000# round bales and I don't think it would be a problem. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and ideas.

ultimately your psi and flow are pump limited. I can't see how a new manifold vs a remote feed is going to make any psi or gpm for you..
 
The best solution for that setup is to install a 20 gpm stinger pump on the front of the tractor. With some creative engineering you could probably make it draw from the rear end. Otherwise I'd incorporate a reservoir somewhere to supply it... with about a 1.5-2" suction line.
Changing the loader supply from the remotes to a diverter plate will not add speed. You just don't have the flow from that one pump to make it hum.. and reducing the lift cylinder size will only neuter the lift capacity of the loader and not gain much speed.

Yes, if oversized cyl's, it will be painfully slow.

No.. on the power beyond block.

You might try high flow hydraulic connectors as a cheaper way, but doubtful.

Changing cyl's will almost as expensive as adding a pto or front end pump. I have never seen a front end pump on a 4 cyl but it can be done.
 
I had a 6600 with a 777d loader it had 2.5 inch cylinders and it was slow. A 2.5 inch cylinder at 6 gal (unless its rapped up is going to be about right) will take around 20 seconds the cycle up.
