Glad you like them! Thanks for watching and please keep those comments coming!

Thanks for your comment Mr. Allen! These machines are VERY handy and I find myself using them for more and more around here. Like you - I needed just a little more lift to get a specific job done. I have no regrets about bumping the pressure up. In fact, since making this video I've had several people contact me stating that over time, the relief valve gets weak - reducing you lift capacity. keeping a few shims and a pressure gauge around would probably be a good part of regular maintenance. Thanks for the comment and taking the time to watch my video. Please subscribe if you haven't already.......I'd be honored if you did!

Awesome! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!!

Thanks for your comment!

There's really no difference. I've put on over 180hrs on the mod and the tractor doesn't perform or sound any different - I had a specific purpose in mind - I needed to lift a +1200lb load to lift onto a flatbed truck and the stock FEL wouldn't do it. After the mod - I was able to lift it with the help of a box blade mounted to the rear of the tractor as a counterbalance. Of course, I can't recommend you to take this project on yourself as it will void your warranty and the liability is too high - as with increased lifting capacity comes increased possibilities for damage, injury or death. Thanks for watching and for the comment!!

Thank you Greg!! I blew one once on a bobcat and i definitely gets your attention! Thanks for watching.

Thanks! I really appreciate your comment!

Sorry about that. I purchased mine from here: www.boltonhooks.com/hydraulic-tools Thanks for the comment!

Sure: 0.1 Shim 31351-37970 0.2 Shim 31351-37960 0.4 Shim 31351-37950 The increase is working out fine for me for several months. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

Yes! I been using it all summer so far without any problems. My grapple too! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!!

I don't know the answer to that. Off the bat - I know that the 2017 L2501 comes with a 1.6L engine and the L3301 & L3901 come with a 1.8L engine but all of that is just off the top of my head. Thanks for watching and for the comment!!

I am under the impression that any modifications to your tractor can/will void your warranty. PLUS: I can't recommend to take this project on yourself as the liability is too high and with increased lifting capacity comes increased possibilities for damage, injury or death. Thanks for watching and for the comment!!

You're going to be super happy with that tractor. It's heavy. Got lots of power and in low range she's a bull! As far as increased performance - I don't think so... I didn't bump the Hydraulic PSI up that much - just enough to be able to lift a dump bed onto my Ford F250. Sometimes I feel like maybe it's a little snappier and other times I don't know if I think it really isn't "snappier" because maybe I'm just use to it....(Sorry, I know I didn't REALLY answer your question). I can tell you this about performance.....The max idle screw is set and then wired with a security wire so that it can't be adjusted up without breaking off the security wire - which voids your engine warranty. There are a lot of guys who claim that the engine is capable of a lot more power and torque - but is "limited" for emission reasons. I don't know if I buy into that but, if you find out from the dealer's mechanic when you take delivery - I'd sure like to know. Thanks for watching and commenting! Again, you're really going to love that tractor. Please don't forget to like, share and subscribe! Talk again soon!

@@BotaTrac thanks for the info ill have to ask most all diesel engines are so I'd assume this is the same. In regards to under tuning it. Think im 2 weeks out still but hope to till my garden under as soon as I get it.

Hello sir! Good to hear from you again! I needed more lift and this is how I obtained it. Of course, I can't recommend to take this project on yourself as you will void your warranty and the liability is too high - with increased lifting capacity comes increased possibilities for damage, injury or death. Thanks for watching and for the comment!!

Mine uses 3/8" Pioneer quick couplers BUT - I've also seen some in 1/2" Pioneer. I know this doesn't give you the answer your looking for but. might I suggest you get a 3/8" from somewhere you can return it if it's NOT what is on yours. Thanks for watching and for your comment!

@@BotaTrac Thanks for your reply. I ended up going to Messicks website and found a parts diagram for the LA525 and just ordered the same coupling that comes with the loader.

Great! Let me know how you make out!

They wouldn't tell me what max pressure would be. They told me "yeah...it will handle that" but never gave me a hard number. Just remember that with added weight comes added wear and tear on your machinery. Bearings, seals and shafts are all performance matched to lifting capabilities so BE VERY CAREFUL!! Also, the ability to lift heaver loads also makes your tractor less stable the higher the bucket goes..... Thanks for watching.

I DO HAVE a hydro drive and I honestly can't say that I NOTICED a speed difference. You would think that by increasing pressure - you would be increasing speed. The only difference I noticed was the lifting capacity in the loader AND in the rear lift arms. Thanks-a-million! I really appreciate your comment and support!

Yes it will! I have to attach my box blade to keep the rear end from lifting off the ground. My read tires are also loaded. Thanks for your comment!!

it was for me! I had a very specific job I needed done and it worked out well for me. THAT SAID: I can't recommend you take this project on yourself as the liability is too high and with increased lifting capacity comes increased possibilities for damage, injury or death. Thanks for watching and for the comment!!

Yes. I was able to do the job I wanted to do. Otherwise - there's no difference in the way the tractors runs or sounds. This all came about because I had a +1200lb load to lift onto a flatbed truck and the stock FEL wouldn't do it. After the mod - I was able to lift it with the help of a box blade mounted to the rear of the tractor as a counterbalance.

I'm happy with it. Of course, I can't recommend you to take this project on yourself as you will void your warranty and the liability is too high - with increased lifting capacity comes increased possibilities for damage, injury or death. Thanks for watching and for the comment!!

I've never measured it so I'm not sure. I needed to lift a load and place it on top of a Ford F250 flat bed. I did have to counter weight the tractor by attaching my box blade to keep the rear end on the ground. Thanks for your comment!!

Great for me! I especially love my rear remotes - don't know how I ever got by without them and use them almost every day. THAT SAID: as far as raising the pump pressure - I can't recommend you take this project on yourself as the liability is too high and with increased lifting capacity comes increased possibilities for damage, injury or death. Thanks for watching and for the comment!!

That's a good idea too..... Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!!

Any port will give you a reading. just make sure to rev the engine up to PTO operating speed and take 3 readings. Let me know how you make out! Thanks-a-million! I really appreciate your comment and support!

I'm still happy with it a few months later....Of course, I can't recommend you take this project on yourself as it will void your warranty and the liability is too high - as with increased lifting capacity comes increased possibilities for damage, injury or death.

Yeah - I'd be curious to know what the max is but I have to be careful.

I don't know for sure - I haven't measured it. I needed to lift 1280lbs onto the back of a truck. With a box blade on the rear of the tractor I had no problem safely lifting and moving the load. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!!

Follow-up! I have been using it for months now. No problems so far. I DO need to counter weight the rear-end or the loader will pick up the rear end. Thanks for your comment!

Yes! it seems to work fine for me. I really like the extra power. Thanks for your comment!

@@BotaTrac thanks waiting for mine to come in

I would comfortably say that the small increase I did increased lifting capacity a few hundred pounds easily at a guess. I appreciate your comment and thank you for your support!! Please don't forget to like, share and subscribe!

VERY SMART OF YOU! It's easy to forget about weight limits and push things too far. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!!

How's it holding up for you?? Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!!

I do all my own maintenance. The couple times I have it down to the shop it came back with a problem it didn't have before I brought it there. Nothing big - little stuff but either way - I'm sure that if there was some sort of damage - they'd find out somehow that I wrenched on it. I'm sure they see a lot of that kind of thing and know when there's been a mechanical failure or a failure caused by someone who did something they weren't supposed to. Thanks for watching and for the comment!!

Yikes. What are they going to do about that? I've never had a single problem with mine outside of some hydraulic fittings that used to weep now and then. I'll keep my eye out for your answer. That shouldn't be and the dealer should be miking that right. I appreciate your comment! Please keep 'em coming!! also, Please like, share and subscribe!
