MM G1000 Hydraulics and loader

minniemo705 · Nov 1, 2018

I put an Ezee-on loader on my G1000. The 2 lift cylinders are getting rebuilt. My question is what is best for a pump- are the tractor hydraulics enough, or would a PTO pump be better. Even with 2 very leaky cylinders it worked, but I'm used to the pto pump on my tractors with a F11 and a F10 loader which both work fast. I guess my question is the loader was cheap but in excellent condition with no welds or bends. With rebuilding the cylinders and buying what I would need for a pto pump setup I'm still under $3000. I just wonder how the tractor Hydraulics will do running the loader?

Here not all G1000 tractors used the same hydraulic pump. Do you know if you have the Vickers piston pump or the gear pump? How large is the bore and stroke of the lift cylinders since they are apart? How fast do you want them to extend? What RPM do you want to run the tractor when operating the loader? My e-mail should be open if you want me to answer those questions. I have only ever seen one of those Farmhand loaders. This is not big loader country. My boy has a loader tractor (IH). It has not been used more than 10 hours a year as a loader tractor.

It's a Vickers pump, and the bore is 1 3/4"x 4'stroke. the F11 is 1 3/4"x about 6' stroke. The pto pump I have goes by gpm and I have the 21 gpm. The smaller is about 11? gpm. At the 540 pto rpm they run at a good clip and will lift a 1700lb bale with more to give. It's hard to judge, but for their age they are still very good and reliable loaders. I guess what I want advice on is can that G1000 tractor pump handle a front end loader. At about 1800 rpm? speed's a hard question to answer but let's say "reasonable"?. The F11 with the pto pump just depends on rpm, but even a t an idle with that high gpm pump it has a rather quick lift and plenty of power. I guess I'm really wondering how much power that tractor pump has. Putting the pto pump on would be easy.

The Farmhands will always be faster. Not sure why, but they are. If you aren?t always needing the PTO, I would put the highest gpm pump you can afford on it.

Wait and find out, get your cylinders fixed and see. You don't know the condition of the tractor pump. Might be acceptable or not.

Another thought, is the G1000 pump readily available? If they are expensive or getting harder to find save the oem pump for the tractor and wearout the pto pump.

The vickers pump on a G1000 is a piston pump. Should pump 20 gal min. Plenty fast. It will pump at 1/2 throttle almost as fast as wide open.

I learned to drive a tractor on a MM JetStar- that was our loader tractor. M670 was the 'big' tractor. Later, the JetStar needed engine work, so we swapped the loader over to the 670. As I recall, the loader worked fine, so I'd be pretty confident putting a loader on a G1000.

Minnie Mo 705, I am a Ford guy but I hope that another tractor that you can put the loader on is in your future. To me the G1000 is one of the nicest looking tractors ever produced and a loader hides the looks.
