In this video we share what a difference increasing our hydraulic pressure from 1750psi to 2000psi.

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.....🤣🤣🤣

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👍

Those are great results! I think I'll wait for the warranty to be up before I do that though. Thanks!

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.

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.

I love tests like this! I'm thinking about shimming mine, what thickness washer did you put in there?

@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead 4 ай бұрын

I don’t actually know the thickness. I just dug through my spares bolts and found one to try. It ended up being perfect.

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. 😂

@rockandrattleretreat5830 4 ай бұрын

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.

Dont forget to add the weight of the pallet forks....

@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead 4 ай бұрын

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.

@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead 4 ай бұрын

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.

😅 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. 😊

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.

@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead 4 ай бұрын

I did, from 3100 to 3200 rpm I was seeing a 50psi difference.

@outdoors-fun 4 ай бұрын

@@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.

@smeefamily54 4 ай бұрын

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.

@cedaroakfarm8596 4 ай бұрын

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.

@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead 4 ай бұрын

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?

@cedaroakfarm8596 4 ай бұрын

@@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.
