To be honest, all I can say it's 6.5 cub cm. In other words it displaces 6.5 cubic centimeter of fluid each revolution.
The pump itself is a very common hydr. pump used by professionals and referred to as an "italian pump"
I builded the setup myself and did the calculations myself.
You have to know that the pump is driven by the crank by means of a V-belt.
I used an A/C electric coupling in front of the pump so it will run only when needed.
At that time I was afraid the coupling would not be able to handle the torque needed for a pump with higher volume (say 9.5 ccm) and therefore choose to have a smaller pump and use a higher RPM.
If I had to do it again ( and maybe I will some day) I would use the higher volume pump. I'm confident the coupling will handle it.

A remark: because the pump can deliver almost double the pressure Milemarker specifies, I've a setup with a safetyvalve that dumps the pressure as soon as the allowed pressure is reached.

I also use a radiator to cool the hydr. fluid. It's a small oilcooler radiator, but it allows me to winch without limits for hours without any problem under full load.
