High flow kits?

[peteski]

Does anyone make a high flow kit? I know its easier just to buy one that has it but it seems like the skidsteers that have high flow are so much more then the ones that don't have it. Thanks

Most don't have hi flow, its an option in some machines but it involves a new hydraulic pump, diverter valve and new pipes as there will be more oil flowing. You will also need to get the dealer to enable this feature in the computer. If you really want/need hi flow, you really are better off selling your current machine and buying one with it already installed, especially if its Bobcat brand.
Skidsteer.ca (AKA Ken) has installed it into his New Holland, but i assume that didn't need all the fance computer programming that Bobcat needs. It wasn't cheap, but it was far cheaper than getting the dealer to do it.

Thanks. I thought some one would have an aftermarket for bobcat since they are so popular. I have a Case 1840 right now. I want to get a bigger skid steer. I was at an auction a couple of years ago and seen a case 85 xt go for under $9,000. It didn't have high flow. All the Cases that have high flow go for $14500 and up where I live. The biggest reason I want high flow is to blow snow. I might be better off getting a tractor with blower behind it but the only thing I would use it for is blowing snow and most of the time the tractors go too fast inverse then it can blow. If i can get a skid steer to blow almost as much snow I could use that year round.
