I'm searching for a 16 GPM pump for my splitter. Its down to international hydraulics and Speeco. They are both similarily priced. Anyone know where they are built? Which may be a better product?
 
I used a Speeco 16gpm on my small splitter. To date there has been no issues. I am not familiar with the other brand.
A Haldex 16 gpm pump resides on my big splitter. Again - no issues to date.

A Haldex is almost twice the price.

When I built my big splitter they were apples to apples to other pumps. When I built my little splitter, the Speeco was considerably less expensive.
