As we all know the JD 445 is a very neat little tractor. However if you have ran one it is easy to notice that the aux hydraulics for the loader and the 3pt hitch are easy to say weak. I recently decided to fix that problem I bought a 7gpm 3000psi that i have relieved to work at 1500psi and put it on my 445. It was a pain. First the valve that came on the 400 series tractors has NO relief valve in it. I had to add the relief valve as an external relief. it was easy to bypass the valve off of the existing system. Long story short ... it was a bit of work but now i can lift my rototiller up all the way with ease and lift a bucket full of dirt. The JD dealer was against me doing it since it is not JD approved... but i would rather have more power than i can use, than have no where near the power that i need
