Unless your loader has 4" diameter cylinders you don't WANT that much flow. Mine is best with about 5 gpm otherwise it takes the touch of a safe cracker on the valve handles to not jerk the loader and tractor around.

On my tractor with a closed system, I put flow restrictors on the lines to the loader and to the back hoe (when its mounted on the 3 point) to cut the flow back to something I can control.

When I had the same loader (2.5" lift cylinders) on my smaller tractor with an external pump, I found a 5 GPM pump on that open center system was fine. The 22 gpm PTO pump was too much.
