Upgrading Your Tractor from Standard to High Flow?

Here’s What You Need to Know about Upgrading Tractor Hydraulics

We are often asked about upgrading your tractor hydraulic system from standard flow to high flow.  This is done to beef up the infrastructure when wanting to use a tractor for heavier duty use like in construction.  Many people ask us they have to also swap out the quick couplers when upgrading from standard to high flow.  The answer is yes, absolutely you must upgrade your hydraulic quick couplers when upgrading the hydraulic circuit.

Beefed Up Hydraulics Require Heavier Duty Quick Couplers

It requires quite a lot more power to raise the blade with hydraulics when moving heavy materials as opposed to pulling an agricultural implement. The increase in force and weight requirements puts added stress on the circuit which includes the quick couplings.  Using quick coupler fittings that are not designed for this added stress could allow quick connect failure, leaks and require continually replacing them.  This will get costly and create unnecessary downtime, contamination and safety risks.
