The front pump will be faster than the 3-4 gpm that the original tractor pump put out. Front pump might be 10 gpm or so. However, to be honest I would probably get the stand alone splitter with the Honda engine. You would really want the tractor pump to be in the 20 gpm range at mid throttle to be of any use. Otherwise, you're just pouring gas through the tractor. The 5.5 hp Honda will end up being just as fast, and far cheaper to run. I run my splitter off my skid steer, which is moving about 15 gpm at 3/4 throttle, but it's not bad on fuel compared to a tractor. It's still not as fast as I would like either. Next step for me is a big PTO pump. Probably pushing 30+ gpm. That will make use of the tractor. FWIW,
