1/4 X pi X d squared X hydraulic pressure available. That is to figure the force you can get from a hydraulic cylinder take diameter X diameter X 3.14 and divide by 4. That gives you the area of the cylinder. Then multiply that by the psi available from the hydraulic system. For a 3 inch cylinder. 1/4 x 3 x 3 x 3.14 x 2000 psi equals 14,130 pounds of force the cylinder can generate. If you are useing the return stroke, you have to take away the area of the rod, which is usually 1 inch diameter. Also, the force the cylinder can generate is not the whole story. The geometry of the loader set up has a lot to do with it too. If the cylinder moves 8 inches and the load moves 24, then the force applied to the load will be reduced to 1/3 of the cylinder force or for the 3 inch diameter cylinder, 4710 lbs. That force can also be variable depending on the geometry, as sometimes the loader may move faster toward the end of the cylinder stroke. As you can see, not a simple solution.

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a �kid� (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn�t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He�s been run over by a train, he�s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I�d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this �green planet�. I�m par
