If you have a new machine I recommend you change the hydraulic oil at the same time to get that Chinese junk out of it. If you already have, you can take a shop vac and put it over the fill tube to create negative pressure in the tank and you won't loose fluid. Before doing so make sure you have all your connections made up and when you go to tie into the tank make it your last connection. A 30L/min hydro cooler is plenty for these machines. I have the filter number from Napa I think it's a 1515 I will have to look in my shop once I get home. Filtration works best straight up and down. I used 5/8" barb x 1/2" NPT male fittings and spliced my return line to the tank. Put some good hose clamps on it and it works great. This is a low pressure line since it is on the return side. Would not recommend barbed fittings for high pressure lines. Remember hydraulic fluid should stay below 140°F to insure 100% life of the hydraulic fluid. Best is around 100°F. Now that's for an ISO 46 fluid that I used. I have yet to see the machine make it over 100° on the hydraulic fluid. I've used it for hours digging up stumps in the rocky Ozark Mountains of Missouri with no overheating issues.
I installed the Cooler Kit yesterday on my new H12. On my machine the bolt holes aligned perfectly with the cooler mounting holes so no drilling was needed which was nice. I noticed in the video that you recommend orienting the cooler with air flow into the machine, however, later in the video it appears that the cooler is oriented for air flow out.
My AGT H12 will be arriving in a few days and I already have the kit here and ready to install. Looking forward to getting a cushion valve kit when they are back in stock.
I bought a HighTop H10 which kit would be the best to fit this model. My back panel will not or can not swing out like you have shown that you mod some of your machines with latching levers. My H10 looks a lot like your video on the H12 Cooler kit. Does the model numbers run similar with random manufacturers names?
Is there some block on youtube that prevents you from posting a link to your site? I suggest you put the site web address in the video or in the description.
I just bought a 2024 AGT H12R and want to do most all of your upgrades. Can you send me info on how to get all of your kits as well as all other agt parts. My unit needed a drive motor replaced on one side. The main seal is leaking so i ordered a new motor from agt.
Does it actually keep the hydraulic lines cool . Because the stock cooling system they put doesn’t keep the lines cool at all even on a 60 degree below day.
@@thegarageconnection interesting I’m not sure if that’s good 180 degrees seems hot still I had mine completely catch on fire two days ago and I gotta put a new engine in and I wanna upgrade the hydraulic cooling system because of how hot everything gets so quick

I ended up combining a couple different iterations of the cooler kits into one video. I recommend pulling air in from the outside.

Great install.......I have a FF12 but dont see the need to install this cooler............

At full load the system never exceeded 180 degrees, even riding the relief valve
