Increasing Kubota loader lift capacity 

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.

@@SteveAustin-jp3ev I’ve been blessed for sure. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate you.

Thank you!

@@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!

@@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.

You noticed that, lol. He’s the woodyard dog for sure.

@@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.

@@LogCabinFirewood hey Jack. I’m excited to try them out loading the dump trailer.

Hey Jimbo. I was a bit skeptical but the results were really good.

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.

I was very pleased with the results! You’re right, the heat this year has slowed me down a bit but I’m still able to “keep moving “ lol.

Hello David. I am very impressed with the results. Contact Kevin at hydrosplus.com to see what he can do for you.

Thanks Hayes. Ideally I’d have a skid steer like you! Hope you are doing well.

@@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.

@@inthebackyardwithdel438 thanks Del. I think it will really help!

@@michaelsmith8412 I need to keep that in mind Michael! Clifford is definitely the Woodyard dog.

@@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.

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 was very surprised with the results!

@@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.

@@TCsOutdoors1 thanks Tony. It will really make things easier for sure.

Thanks Ted. It will really help my operation.

Hi Todd. It’s about a 30 minute job. The results were pretty great!

@@fricknjeep it’s going to make a huge difference for me John.

@@robertgreen8695 thanks for watching Robert. The fluid level was good without adding any.

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. 👍

@@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

@@DirtRoadLife1 hey Chris. Thanks for watching. Kenny is a great guy. Let me know if I can help with any L3400 issues!

@@oldguyfirewood will do! And yes he is! Thanks Dick! Catch you soon

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

@@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.

@@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.

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.

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.

@@SteveAustin-jp3ev thank you!

Hey Turtle. I was really pleased with the results. I loaded my dump trailer today and it was so much easier.

@@josephlyson3896 thanks Joseph. It makes a huge difference.

@@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.

Thanks for watching and commenting Donald.

@@digger0429 thanks digger. It makes it so much easier to load my dump trailer.

@@brianrizzi6321 around $900 and worth every penny. Sure beats the cost of a new tractor!

@@oldguyfirewood definitely

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.
