Well, there are some issues....

First off, the pump is max rated at 16GPM but the valve is only rated at 10GPM. So, not a good idea there. Second, you don't need or want a two stage pump. No reason for it. You will just load the loader and it will slow down. Just use a smaller GPM pump and you will be fine. As stated earlier, you only need about 5GPM to run a loader for this small of a tractor. These aren't super huge machines guys. They aren't skid loaders. They won't be fast and they won't pick up a lot. Size of the tractor just won't let it. If you want something that moves and works like a skid loader, buy one of those.
