What do you have for a Flow rater? I have been watching for one and would like suggestions.
No, a five gallon pail and a stopwatch are NOT what I was thinking, LOL
 
I have one built into my test bench that has a ball that rises as flow increases,, I had an old style flow rater years ago when I worked off the truck, but it kinda "blew" apart on me..Darn it
 
Northern Hydraulics used to have one in their catalog ? Maybe they still do ? I always was going to buy one but didn't. Life happened and all spare funds went by by.
 
It seems that no one uses the old flow rater style anymore, the ball type is cheaper and actually easier to use..I'll post a picture of mine after bit,,getting ready to load out a semi load of hay right now...
 
Here is what I have on my test bench, I have a big hand valve instead of a needle valve,, it acts sorta like a hand clutch when I start to bring the pressure up..and the semi I loaded out this morning...
