L170 Low or Hi-Flow ?

[ejb17]

I looked at an L170 today andf the guy who owns it is not a machine guy so he did not know if it was high or std flow. It is a 2006 model with cab and heat but I am not familiar with something this new so how can I tell if it has hi-flow?

If there are two couplers out on the boom then it is a std flow. High flow have four couplers with two being bigger than the std flow couplers.

Thanks that helps a lot. Is there a way or kit to make it a hi-flow?

NH makes HF kit for most mid and large frame models. There are several versions depending on your loader. Some units had Eaton control valve, some had Husco which means different plumbing. Some had original cab, some had new cab which means different wiring. There's' even a difference between L160 and L170 because of pump displacement. Better be seated when you get quote which the last time I checked was around $3000, just for a box of parts, then fairly major surgery to install.
