I have a 12v hydraulic pack I am using on a new dump trailer I built, the pump only has a 1/4" port and the cylinder is 5" bore with 3/4" ports. The power pack is for a single acting cylinder. Power up, gravity down.
My question is: if I step up the size of the hose connection to say 1/2" coming out of the pump will it increase the flow or will it still be limited by the 1/4" port? My gut tells me it will be limited by the 1/4" port but I don't know. I am looking to get a faster lift time than what I get now.
Any info greatly appreciated.
