Hey folks, have an original bucket that I love the look of but is lacking in grunt and features. Currently it just lifts the bucket, the curl is done with a simple release lever and pin. Also, it doesn't feel like the cylinders are two way. They lift okay but just feels like gravity sets the bucket down. Ideally I would have lift, lower, curl in, curl out all under hydro power.
The other piece is POWAH...I have little. I can't hardly pull posts out of the ground
I haven't done anything scientific, but I'd be surprised if I have more than 500lbs of lifting force. I don't want to get too crazy and ask the tractor to do something it shouldn't, but it does feel a bit weak.
So, what's the recommendation?? I'm pretty handy so not opposed to upgrading what I have, but not sure it is worth the effort. I'd think at a minimum I'd need four new cylinders, lines, control valve and pump. Then all the fab work to get things going.
Bucket Model: Dearborn 19-21 ser# 12448
Pump Model: Front mount, 05-485
Thanks.
