Outstanding results from this cylinder replacement. This will help you immensely while loading onto your trailer. I don't believe this is making the machine any more dangerous. In fact, I believe it's making it safer to load and unload without restrictions. Kenny
Nice upgrade Dick . Over the yrs no mater how big the tractor I’ve found they never lift enuf I always want more lol. Looks like this solved ya issue .
Thanks for watching Lyle. You’re right. My tires are loaded and I will always have substantial weight on the 3 point. The land plane I have on in this video I’d 600 lbs.
@@jameschandler2776 prices are ridiculous James. When I bought my tractor about 15 years ago it was right at $15k. The comparable Kubota today is over $30k. I couldn’t justify buying a new one now.
Hi there Dick. Boy them cylinders really made a difference. A very nice improvement. I bet you’re having a hard time getting things done with the heat. Stay cool and drink a lot of water. Take care.
Wow now that is impressive. We heard about these cylinders at the Hoosier Hysteria this past year from the boys at 765 who had done it to a JD tractor. Kenny the brother of Chris from in the woodyard was considering getting a pare for his JD. Thanks for the great video.👍TCT
@@TonysCoolTools I just loaded my dump trailer with 3 full totes. With the exception of maybe 10 pieces that fell on the ground I didn’t have to touch a thing. This will be a huge help for me.
Before you guys go head and do this... keep in mind that the loader is engineered so that you cannot overload the tractor front axle and frame with it set to stock specifications. When you modify it to exceed these specs... you're going to find the next weakest link. And it won't be cheap.
Thanks for watching. I talk about that in the video and advise everyone to make this modification at their own risk. In my case I’m lifting the same weight I was before only I’m lifting it higher… no additional weight on the axle.
Thanks Larry… good advice. My rear tires are loaded and I keep a good amount of weight on the 3 pt. I’m always very aware of “seat of the pants” feelings. I’ll check into wheel weights.
That first cylinder you installed I’d recommend taking the pin out of the rod and rotating the rod, you’re gunna have a heck of a time greasing that rod pin
Good eye Elliot! In my haste to finish the video I went ahead and did the lift without greasing the pins. When I went back to grease them afterwards I discovered my mistake and corrected it. 👍
@@oldguyfirewood Skidsteers are great but not as easy to get in and out of. I think you are not supposed to exit under the boom arms but I do it all the time.
Hey Dick! Kenny from @OpenAirAdventure sent me over! I just bought an L3400 from my neighbor so this is good info and very helpful! Great explanation and demonstration. Gave you a sub so we’ll see you around! -Chris
That is an amazing upgrade! Quite the difference for sure. So are the cylinders a bigger diameter, the piston rods or both? Would like to upgrade my kubota like that! Great video 👍
Thanks for watching. The results were much better than I expected. I need to measure the cylinders to see if there is a size difference. From first glance they seem to be the same size. My knowledge of hydraulics tells me that the inside diameter of the cylinder would have to be larger to increase lift capacity with the same psi of hydraulic pressure.
@@oldguyfirewood my friend Aaron did this one to his Deere. But his driving force was he had a leaking cylinder leaking and a set of hydros plus was cheaper than 1 new Deere cylinder. It’s been great so far on his tractor.
Impressive that just cylinders made that difference. I been hearing people shimming the reliefs valves to get more lift. I got newer 4701 with filled rear tires and with 6ft cutter on the back it will lift or pick the back tires up off the ground trying. Please don’t stand in front or under it while it’s lifting that heavy weight.
Thanks for watching Shane. I went the shim route several years ago. I went to just below max recommended pressure and it helped some. It sounds like your 4701 has no lift problem at all! I agree with the safety advice you offer.
Dick great it work out for you . Remember THINK 🤔 SAFETY and always put SAFETY FIRST. Load up high make your tractor 🚜 top heavy for rollover in travel. All it take is a small rock 🪨 on the ground . My 988B Cat loader don’t like 👍 rock 🪨 under it tires 🛞 with a full bucket of gravel. Make a Little Rock 🪨 and roll lol 😊.
@@leonardryan8723 great advice Leonard. I’m extremely cautious and totally understand what you’re saying. I have a real respect for “seat of the pants” instincts.
I need to try that. I know it would lift a stacked 275 gal oak tote but not sure about a stacked 330 gallon tote. From the feel of the way it lifted the thrown tote, I feel it would.
@@richardniswander6090 thanks for watching Richard. I did shims years ago to get up to maximum psi. It helped some, but these cylinders have made a substantial difference.
With "old-age" the Relief valve( springs) get "soggy"& Week,plus; hot hydraulic fluid lessens lifting capacity. That top- unbraced "portal" front spindles are "famous " for crushing the seals and bearings; / causing LEAKS & eventual total FAILURE when "Pushed" beyond factory designed parameters.
Such a modern and powerful loader, wonderful machine
Thank you!
Wow those new cylinders really do help you out with lifting height!!! I'm impressed!!! Great work brother!!😊
@@LogCabinFirewood hey Jack. I’m excited to try them out loading the dump trailer.

@@OpenAirAdventure thanks Kenny. I totally agree with you. I’m loading up a dump trailer load tomorrow for a delivery. I’m excited to try it!
Very impressive upgrade. Had my doubts it would improve that much. 👍

@@AllenFamilyFirewood hey Phil… how’s it going? For what I need this is a perfect answer. Thanks for watching.

@@KNLFirewood hey Mike. Yes, I was pleasantly surprised.
Great video!! Saw Jake's video a while back also!! May upgrade my cylinders!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Hello David. I am very impressed with the results. Contact Kevin at hydrosplus.com to see what he can do for you.
Man what a difference!!
Great video!!
I was very surprised with the results!
I can barely buy groceries. I'll never own a tractor. I'm jealous of all your equipment
@@SteveAustin-jp3ev I’ve been blessed for sure. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate you.
Clifford the Safety Supervisor kept a sharp eye on you through the whole process!🤣
You noticed that, lol. He’s the woodyard dog for sure.
I wish I had bought a tractor before I retired. I have been retired too long and it is beyond my means. They are so handy

hi there that is just the reason i got a bobcat , my old JD could only pick up about 850 lbs . . looks good . best to all john
@@fricknjeep it’s going to make a huge difference for me John.
Hello Dick, Nice! probably should add two wheel weights to each rear wheel, It really helps to stabilize the tractor 🚜👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks Larry… good advice. My rear tires are loaded and I keep a good amount of weight on the 3 pt. I’m always very aware of “seat of the pants” feelings. I’ll check into wheel weights.
I contacted Kevin about add lift capacity for my kubota MX5100”👍🇺🇸
I think Clifford wanted an introduction at the beginning of the video!! 😄

Hi Todd. It’s about a 30 minute job. The results were pretty great!
Did you have to add any additional hydraulic fluid to compensate for the larger cylinders?
@@robertgreen8695 thanks for watching Robert. The fluid level was good without adding any.
A worthy modification and no need for another tractor.
Thanks Hayes. Ideally I’d have a skid steer like you! Hope you are doing well.

great video so interesting how much higher you were able to lift
Hey Turtle. I was really pleased with the results. I loaded my dump trailer today and it was so much easier.
Very nice the problem I have with my little massy it lift but can’t tip what it will lift.
Thanks for watching Dan. Hydrosplus makes tilt cylinders that will help with that problem!
@@oldguyfirewood I don’t think they got anything for massy yet.
@@danshouseofsmokeandoutdoor7119 I don't see anything on their website but I would give Kevin a call and see if he might have a solution
If you add wheel weights or have the rears filled with calcium if will pick up heavy loads no problem
@@johnpierce1251 hi John. My wheels are already filled and I keep a heavy implement on the back. It’s necessary for sure.
@@oldguyfirewood it just looked really light in the back wheels is all I was concerned about you getting hurt stay safe my friend and hello Clifford
Great upgrade, sure is frustrating when a manufacturer rating isn’t close to real world uses.
@@765Guys thanks Genin. I think someone mentioned you had done this upgrade to a John Deere? It makes it much easier to load my dump trailer.
