About

Welcome to HF Hydraulics, Hydraulic Forum website. This forum provides technical consult 24/7 for all types of hydraulic and lubrication machinery.
This includes all brands of hydraulic excavators as well as all makes of heavy equipment suited to owners, owner/operators, mechanics and dealerships.

The objective of my forum is to provide technical guidance to isolate the root cause behind your problem being experienced with the machine and list the corrective actions that are required in order to have it properly fixed. This will be accomplished by utilizing this forum, communication by e-mail, taking digital photos and if need be technical consult done over the phone. On a rare occasion when a machine has a very unique issue that we just cannot quite pin-point, if all efforts made using the various avenues mentioned above have been exhausted, then I will make myself available to you at a reasonable fee and personally come out to the machine.
