Message: <blockquote data-quote="skidsteer.ca" data-source="post: 33655" data-attributes="member: 307">I priced it out for my s185 and we were at $2100 for parts only. it uses a tripple gear pump (no idea why a double is not sufficent) that only Bobcat could supply at that time for @$1100If the pump could be sourced elsewhere and you did your own labour its possible, but still expensive. plus the dealer would still have to program your computer to tell it the hi flow option is now installed.Forget about hiring it done, better off to just trade machines.If a aftermarket kit was available, that would be the way to go. if you find something, let me know, I'd like one too.I converted my NH ls160 (simular size to a s150) and there is too not much to the setup on them. Still took a couple days of screwing around. A aftermarket company could easily supply that setup if they desired.With bobcat the 3/4" lines are already on the boom and the couplers are the same, where as the NH had to be updated from 1/2" stuff. After that it should just be plumbing the supply to the extra pump and the pressure to a selector valve that combined the high flow pump section to the standard flow pump when high flow was desired and bypassed the high flow pump to the tank when it was not needed.NH just plumbed the high flow section into the same control valve in a port between the 2nd and third spool, this way only the 3rd (aux couplers) spool seen the extra oil and the tilt and lift only seen oil from the main pump. (operated the same regardless of hi flow being activated or not.)Only when you are not currently useing the lift or tilt valve, is the combined flow of both pumps available to the aux couplers.The nice part is when your are using the lift and tilt, the front aux couplers still have a dedicated pump suppling them, but at a reduced flow (only the high flow section) as opposed to the attachment being completely starved of flow.Ken</blockquote>
