The presenter started out thinking the answer was yes, then got corrected by shop mechanics mid-setup. He demonstrates with a live pressure gauge on a Kubota, showing only ~150 PSI difference between idle and full throttle, and explains why RPM still matters through flow recovery rate. Best for owners curious about the hydraulics behind loader feel.
Posted by the Messick's Farm Equipment channel, a dealership, so the video doubles as a soft brand touchpoint, though this particular segment is educational rather than a sales pitch.
Not really. Pressure builds to the relief point almost immediately regardless of RPM. The gauge test showed only about 150 PSI difference, less than 10%, between idle and full throttle.
Because higher RPM spins the hydraulic pump faster, letting it recover pressure more quickly after fluid is consumed during loader or transmission use, improving how the tractor feels.
At 1100 RPM idle the gauge read about 2250 PSI, and at full throttle around 2400 RPM it read about 2400 PSI, a 150 PSI difference.
