How to increase hydraulic flow Case 445?

4x41987 ยท 2012-10-09 21:27

Hello, I have a Case 445 series 3 skid steer. I am wanting to increase the speed of my bucket and boom speeds. My bucket mainly since it is so slow. Is there an easy way to adjust the flow? Also it has three aux hydraulic fittings on the left boom. Why is there the third one? I have only operated them with just two?

    The third line is a case drain. Some attachments require that, most dont. You would need to likely have the dealer check the pressures to see if they are in spec, unless you can find what those pressures are, likely not worth the effort. A tech could check those pressures and make any necessary adjustments in an hour.
