How to Identify High Flow Feature on a 226d Skid Steer?

Question:

Today, I am considering a 226d skid steer with the seller claiming it is a high flow machine. However, upon inspection, I only see the standard three couplers on it. Is there a specific feature or indicator that differentiates a high flow machine? I did not notice any high flow indication on the side badging.

If you provide the serial number, a person with SIS (Service Information System) can examine the equipment to identify its original factory options. Another option is to contact your nearest Cat dealer with the serial number for assistance in retrieving this information.

Is it correct to say that standard flow machines typically have 2 hoses, while high flow machines have 3 hoses - with the third hose being a case drain that standard flow machines lack?

Inquiring about hose configurations on skid steer loaders, an individual questioned whether standard flow machines typically have two hoses and high flow machines have three hoses, with the third hose being a case drain that standard flow machines lack. Expressing uncertainty, the individual noted that they had not observed a Caterpillar skid steer loader with more than three auxiliary couplers at the front, but acknowledged that it is still a possibility.

The 248 machine features two types of connectors: standard flow and high flow. The high flow connectors are significantly larger than the standard ones, making them ideal for moving oil efficiently. Introduced by Cat as their first highflow model, the 248 utilizes 20-year-old technology. While I may not be up-to-date on the latest advancements, it's clear that larger connectors are essential for high flow operations.
