I was working with my JD 5085 and I pushed the 563 self leveling loader to hard. This is what happened.
I was raking debris out of a pile of top soil. The upper jaw of the grapple was extended out giving the loader 4 feet of extra reach. The extra reach translated into more leverage working against the curl cylinders. When I get the loader put back together I will post a video that shows what I was doing. If I had had the loader in float mode the cylinders probably would not have broken but I am never going to extend the grapple to such an extreme angle again to test out the idea.
I looked up the parts needed the next day.
To rebuild the cylinders it will cost about $1200 just for the parts.
To buy two new replacement cylinders is about $1500. Bummer.
