working with the FEL yesterday, picking larg rocks out of the woods for my garden, all of a sudden hydro fluid blew out the left side of the FEL, all over my hood side and arm of the FEL.
I shut down to inspect and found a small split in one line.
off to the shop to fix it. I removed the FEL and then removed the line, and set off for Kubota dealer. The parts guy did not have the right fittings for this line so it was off the the nearest hydrolic supplier in my neck of the woods. once there i found out he had the right fittings but not 1/8 line. He only had 1/4 line, so that is what I had him make up for me. My question is what (if anything) will this line do for performance? will it facilitate a faster raise or drop rate? I realize this will not improve performance but am not quite sure what it will do.
also what (if anything) would replacing all line with 1/4 inch line do?

thax in advance Kevin::::::::::::::::::;;

The larger line shouldn't have any effect on your system. The pump still has the same output and the orifice into your lift cylinder is still the same size. The only difference is that you now have a minutely larger oil reservoir.
