Hydraulic Pressure

I have a brand new Bobcat CT4558 and was wondering if anyone ever turns up their hydraulic pressure and what where the results.

Turning up pressure will provide more lift on a loader but depending on how much can also break axles, frames, pump housing, etc.

Have you checked to see what pressure is to see if currently at factory specs?

Are you talking general lift and implement hydraulics, or hst/motive hydraulics?

If I’m trying to lift a semi frozen full bucket of snow it won’t lift it , also with my skid steers if I get stuck in the snow I can dig the bucket in and push myself backwards, the tractor won’t handle that. Thanks for your help.

Thats your general hyd system then. You should be able to find and make an adjustment pretty easy. The dealer, or someone with CT4558 ought to be able to help. Since its new, see if you can get the dealer to check it with you present. Your pressure may be on the low side of the spec range. Get it up on the high side measured with the fluid fully warmed.
