Hydraulic lift speed
 
the lift on this 1811 seems kinda slow and i was wondering if there's a way to adjust the pressure to speed things up? before someone suggests it i already replace the filter and fluid.

This is assuming you have the correct fluid and filter, you can adjust the "charge pump" relief spring. It is item #2 in the image. It can be shimmed to either add or decrease pressure. The procedure is outlined in numerous Hydro Service Manuals.

I'm sure not everyone will approve but I cut the head off an 8-32 pan head machine screw.

Oh ,if it is okay to do that.
Did it improve your speed?
BTW I do have shims....

Yes the plow lifts better now, its still not great so I'm gonna bring a gauge home And see what psi its running. It seemed to help speed up reverse also.

Pressure has no effect on speed. Only flow. I imagine your pressure was fine and you have another issue.
