Right you can have pressure but no flow!!!! Again like you say under load!
The hyd system will either make full rated pressure or it wont under load. Now the pump may be flowing its ass off but your not getting full rated pressure to the function you are activating. This is because somewhere in the system it has found a path of least resistance and will take that. The total system pressure will only get as high as that path of least resistance will provide.
In all that i have read i have not seen any mention of what full rated system pressure should be or if any messurements of this pressure has been taken at the actuation point where the pressure is needed.
