Hi guys. Thanks for allowing me into the group. I have a pc160 2008 yr with 8200 ish hrs. I had a hydraulic driven magnet for ir but upgraded to a bigger on. The new one runs at 26 gallons per minute. The manufacturer suggests that I run it in breaker mode so I don't have high return line pressure, so I don't blow the seal on motor. Problem is that it won't raise the boom fast when loading trucks. We tweaked the mag settings and help the boom but not enough. My old one only did 10 gallons a minute, so 15 in difference and I ran that in power mode. No issues. Does anybody know what the return line pressure is going back to tank?
My deal komatsu dealer would love to come out but I dont feel like giving my money away. Also breaker mode reverse the pedal and its very uncomfortable to run it that way. I don't want to change things, I want everything normal. If I run it in power mode I can adjust the flow thru screen and run my pedal backwards so your foot rests on floor and tie into return side ( which is the pressure side in p mode with pedal back and valve it and go to tank . Just have to change when do with mag and switching to thumb.
Any thoughts.
