Can a Tractor Run Big Hydraulic Attachments?

A homesteader installs a Hydrocheck inline hydraulic flow meter on his tractor's third-function to find out whether it can actually deliver enough GPM to run high-demand attachments like an auger or post-hole driver. He walks through pressure-relief before disconnecting hoses, explains how fittings and hose diameter restrict flow, then tests at multiple RPMs and reports a real measured number, 11.5 GPM. Useful for owners troubleshooting hydraulic performance rather than buyers comparing models.
