High-flow machines also tend to run bigger couplers (often 3\/4 in versus 1\/2 in for standard flow) and usually add a third, smaller coupler for a case drain line. No switch and no extra coupler generally means standard flow only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCase drain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot required on this one.\u003c\/strong\u003e A case drain is an extra hydraulic line some motors need to send leftover oil back safely. This cutter uses a gear motor, which sends oil back through the normal lines, so it does not need one. (The high-flow version of this cutter uses a different kind of motor, called a piston motor, and \u003cstrong\u003ethat one does need a case drain\u003c\/strong\u003e — same idea, different attachment.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it will actually cut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrass, brush, and small trees up to about \u003cstrong\u003e3 inches thick\u003c\/strong\u003e.
