Quick Q for those in the hydraulic know.....
So, my new 5075M puts out 14.6gpm at 2900psi, which is more than enough to make enough HP to spin my broom, buuuuut, the 3rd lines to the loader are only 3/8"!!!! "Dammit" I said...... from what I can see 3/8" hoses are only good to 7GPM, and lines 12gpm.
Am I completely hosed (pun intended), or is there a work around? The broom will run in the winter mostly, sweeping the ice for the hockey rink, so there'll be a bit of cooling from ambient air. It'll run on for 30seconds, off for 10-20, for about 20 minutes at a time as I polish the rink.
I could run 3/4" lines from the back, but then I'm spending more, and I'd have to disconnect one of the circuits from my snowblower.
Ideas are appreciated.

ps - please no comments on my decision to not be a man and step up to the '85.......I feel bad enough already.....
