3TS-8T vs 270T for 30 GPM attachments

I need advice about working on a muddy site with some paved sections..

I'm currently demoing a 3TS-8T Teleskid and the reach is awesome, but I'm worried about hydraulic flow. My forestry mulcher needs a constant 30-32 GPM. I read that the Teleskid's high-flow (33 GPM) is supposedly only guaranteed when the boom is fully retracted, which is useless for mulching. The 270T Compact Track Loader also hits 33 GPM and is the dedicated track machine, which is better for this soft ground.

So here are my concerns..
Will the 3TS-8T's flow actually drop significantly when the boom is just slightly extended? Should I just jump to the 270T to guarantee consistent high hydraulic power, or has anyone successfully run a serious high-flow attachment like a mulcher on the Teleskid?

Thanks for the help!!
 
When you stretch out the boom on the 3TS-8T Teleskid, the hydraulic flow might dip, which could mess with how well your mulcher works. If you need a machine that keeps the flow steady, especially when you're using high-flow tools on bumpy ground, the 270T Compact Track Loader is a solid bet.
 
The 270T also features a special cooling system for its strong hydraulics, which helps prevent overheating when you're mulching for long periods, especially in muddy conditions where airflow is poor.
