On this attachment, that gap is the whole decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning under 30 GPM doesn't just mean \"slower.\" The cutting disc never reaches real cutting speed, so it rubs and grinds instead of chopping cleanly.

The two big lines — the ones with flat-faced fittings — are your supply and return. Those run the mulcher itself. A case drain is a \u003cstrong\u003ethird line\u003c\/strong\u003e, smaller than the other two, that runs straight back to the tank instead of through the valve. If your machine only has two ports there, you don't have a case drain. It's not something you can add with a fitting — it has to be plumbed from the machine's hydraulic system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCase drain is not optional\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis attachment runs a \u003cstrong\u003episton motor\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a piston motor must have a case drain line. Run one without it and trapped pressure destroys the seals. That failure usually gets blamed on the operator, not the missing hookup. \u003cstrong\u003eIf your machine has no case drain port, do not order this.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDon't buy this one if\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou're under 30 GPM.\u003c\/strong\u003e There's no workaround and no adapter for that.
