Yes you did. Did u run a 35 gpm pump on ur 546? Just wondering because if it comes down to a weak pump I would like to try the bigger pump like you suggested

That 546 was underpowered with that 4 cylinder Ford engine so upping the GPM's may be a losing proposition. Best to just make what you have work like it should.
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Yea they are underpowered for sure. Unfortunately I've owned the machine for a little over a year and have yet to figure out this issue with it. Most the time I just resort back to the chainsaw because I can't afford to sit and tinker on it, especially because I am really not that good with hydraulics and I don't know anyone around me that is either. You guys on here have been a lot of help. Just hoping I can figure this thing out soon because at this point it's not worth much too me. Pretty sad when I can out cut my harvester with my chainsaw In harvester size wood.  ::)
