Hi guys I have a 400 that has a loader. I have the loader hydros attached to the front ports on my 400. Is there a way to get more pressure to make the loader lift and curl faster?? Is there a good place to get a pressure guage?? Thanks in advance.

Brian,
I don’t believe the 400 has enough pressure and or volume to run a FEL.
The one I have on my 400 has a separate pump that runs off the PTO.

It works, just a little slow. I know I need to someday add a pump, but right now I don't have the funds. I know there are guys that have boosted the pressure, just can't find those said posts.

Added pressure won't make it faster, for that you need more volume: bigger pump

 

[discobrian24]

Ok, still need a good way to boost pressure and, or measure the pressure to get a little more lift out of her.

Brian,
What type of valve are you using?

Does anyone know the output levels of the hydraulic system on a 400?
Thanks so much,
Jake

I am just running the loader off of the stock hydro on the 400.

Brian -

I would think you can get more pressure by shimming the implement relief valve , if you can find it . Some of us guys with the 4x5 series tractors do it on ours when we put the 40 loader on them . They run off the tractors hydro ; but the trans-axle/pump/tranny was originally engineered to be flow capable for a FEL to be added . It won't be faster , but will give more lift capability . Pump volume is the factor that determines cylinder speed .

BTW , I don't know anything about the location of where exactly the implement relief valve is on a 400 tranny/pump .
