I've got a Hyundai 290lc-3 and I'm wondering if I have to adjust anything in the hydraulics when changing from a long reach to a standard boom? It seems kind of slow. Thanks
Good day To be sure are we talking boom or arm or maybe both? Kind regards Uffex
We changed out the boom and stick, to a standard size. Overall the hydraulics for both boom and stick feel a bit slow. This was my first time ever doing a switch like this
Good day I suggest you time the cylinder movement, start the timing from the point of cylinder movement, not as you pull the lever. Kind regards Uffex
Years ago I helped to set up a long reach boom on Hitachi UH09 and it was a requirement to slow down the slew speed. That may be the case here but with a different method.
Most functions on a long reach are going to be slower than standard. Not sure about Hyundai but Deere/Hitachi also had additional valving for slowing down the boom drop. I'm thinking you are going to have to reset everything after doing the cylinder timing like Uffex said.
I agree with all of the above. All the long reaches I've run were dialed down, just a straight part swap would be slow.
