What happens here

The mulcher features a variable displacement motor, allowing its RPM to be adjusted to match the skid steer's hydraulic flow rate. While the book recommends 13 gallons per minute (GPM), a flow rate of 15-16 GPM is ideal for optimal performance, though it can go as high as 35-40 GPM. A higher flow rate provides more horsepower and flow, which is beneficial for heavy material, but the mulcher will still function at lower GPMs.

Goal: Learn about the mulcher's adjustable flow rate and its impact on performance.

What they say

flow rates on something like this so this is a variable displacement motor on it so we can adjust it to the skid steer minimum requirements the book says 13 I'd say 15 16 gallons per minute to make it run it'll go that low it will go that low wow and then up to 35 or 40 gallons per minute we can adjust it up now if you have a lower flow machine will that affect the performance of it certainly we're going to adjust the rotor speed by adjusting that motor we want to achieve a specific RPM on the rotor okay if you're going through real heavy stuff of course some more horsepower and flow the better of course but it will work okay well let's get her off and then let's take a closer look at her sounds good all right
