I have a B219 loader on my 1979 B7100 kubota tractor. I have had at least 640 LBS in the bucket and it lifted it about 5 feet off of the ground without a problem, even though the loader does lift higher, it quit going at that point. My question is can I make this loader lift more by increasing the size of the cylinders from 2 1/2" to 3" I don't need much more power just when I lift crates that weigh about 450 on the forks, which puts the weight out farther .............more leaverage less lift capacity it slows down and just about makes it to the top of the tractor trailer bed. I have a new control valve on the way as I am getting some blowby when I turn the engine off with a load on the forks and it starts to go down. Maybe this is costing me the a little power loss also? I know I could use a bigger tractor ,but this is what I have.
Anyones thought about this would be very much appreciated
Thank you,
