I’m impressed. When I saw your video a year ago I didn’t think the difference would be that marked and didn’t do the modifications. After this video, I’m gonna do it. Thank you for the effort you put into this practical demonstration, you sold me.
I’ve been meaning to make this video for a year. It really is a huge difference. 👊
Looks very similar to how your increase the pressure on a Saginaw power steering pump. I've done that on a few trucks with bigger tires to make it steer easier. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this test👍
That’s interesting, I didn’t know you could do that. 👍
Those are great results! I think I'll wait for the warranty to be up before I do that though. Thanks!
Really it is night and day difference. I’ve meant to make this video for a long time.
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead thank you for doing so.
Hey Lucas, me and the boys enjoyed the video! Will wanted to let you know the hours on a front axel housing replacement is about 4.5 plus 48 thousand dollars in parts, Steve says he keeps all the hydraulic lines in stock, and Jason fainted.....🤣🤣🤣
This is the best comment ever! 😂🤣
200# can be the difference between getting the job done and selling your tractor!! Good test. Tractor HARD! 🚜💪!!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
Great video Lucas i like the detail
Thanks, Mike!
Love that old Branson hat!
Thanks! My Dad bought a Branson about 20 years ago and they gave him that hat…
Good job. I turned my deere 1025 up a long time ago. was 1900 when delivered. Now its 2500 at idle and 2900 at full throttle. 💪
Did you notice any leaks due to raising the pressure? I'm gonna turn my 1025r up soon.
@northlandacres not yet. Been 3 years so far. 👍
That's a hell of an increase. Must be a huge improvement.
Good test👍
Thanks, Hank!
Would love to see you move up to a B series and I'm sure you would too lol you've proven the BX is a very capable machine but it seems to me like you're operating it at or slightly beyond it's ceiling a lot of the time these days. Anyhoot, love your content. Thanks for posting.
Yeah, I pretty much live in that “beyond the limits” range. 😂
I love tests like this! I'm thinking about shimming mine, what thickness washer did you put in there?
I don’t actually know the thickness. I just dug through my spares bolts and found one to try. It ended up being perfect.
Force = Pressure times Area, so pressure 1 = 1750, pressure 2 = 2000. Divide 2000/1750. This gives 1.14 (114% of the original pressure). Since the area (the cylinder rod faces) doesn't change, theoretically the force should increase by around 14%.
Makes sense.
He got closer to 30%
I would stay below the 2000 lb mark. As a tractor gets older things fail sooner and even sooner when pushed harder than it came out of the factory.
😅 you took her scale out of the closet. You are cooking dinner tonight 😅 I have to hand it to you, that was sleek, it worked, the scale didn't suffer, and you were able to carry all that gravel. 😊
😂🤣 Shhh…she still doesn’t know!
Dont forget to add the weight of the pallet forks....
Yeah that was what I was trying to convey with the scale weight at the pins. The forks, pallet, and barrels add up to nearly 300#
I’d love to know what effects this has on the front axle & if there are any warranty issues doing this. Very interesting.
I would assume that it adds stress and would likely affect warranty. You gotta decide if it is worth the risks. 🤷🏼♂️
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead pretty grey area actually, Kubota is obviously not of fan of this, and I'd say if you brought a machine in with the axel snapped in half the first thing they'd want me to do is check the pressure, from what I've "heard" staying at or below 2000psi seems fairly safe.
Do you see any real change in PSI with higher RPM? The HST tractors ive tested show little to no PSI change with more RPM.
I did, from 3100 to 3200 rpm I was seeing a 50psi difference.
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead Its interesting that with higher RPM we dont see a noticeable increase in PSI. It just seems to make the loader more responsive. Which i honestly dont like since is makes it more jerky.
Too late Lucas. She has already seen this. Good info, as always, on the pressure increase. I will pass though. I guess your grapple will be able to have more compression holding ability. When are you going to side the shed and are you going to stain it? Take care and stay safe.
Shed siding is underway! Videos are coming soon.
So with hydro plus cylinders you would be able to lift 1080 pound
That would be nice!
Be careful, by maximizing the pump capacity you can blow the seals very quickly. Ask me how I know, as soon as the pump has to power the steering and drives you will exceed its capacity.
That’s interesting, I’ve read about and talk to lots of folks increasing your capacity and this is the first I’ve heard of anyone having a failure. What was your pressure set at?
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead, it was factory set and I don't remember the reading. The tech at the time whom I trusted, said when the capacity of the pump is equaled or exceeded by the lifting weight pressure, the seals will begin to break down or fully fail. In my case I was lifting a cat 2 set of discs on a low boy and all seals blew. It lifted it but struggled after about 2 feet and I think that is when the damage was done. Totally replaced the pump. The pump is rated with a pressure plus a safety factor %, if you exceed that safety range seals will begin to fail. If it happens, in some models you can go to the next larger pump.
Maybe you could find an old skid steer to use at the sawmill
Definitely would be nice!
There’s a company that makes bigger lift cylinders for the BX that you can lift 1200 pounds but, they were $800. 😢
Yeah, that would be nice. Still cheaper than a new tractor. I just don’t know how much more I want to push my BX…
