Thanks PineRidge. I did change a bunch of stuff. The NH unit weighs about 1000 lbs give or take. Mine weighs about 1500 lbs. The bucket is heavier, plus the reservoir and pump add to the weight. Several of the high stressed parts were also made heavier. It was a big project. I thought I would save some money and get a getter bh. I didn't save much, but I got a better bh (I believe anyway). Essentially I have power pack that I can use for a log splitter or whatever I want now, the control valve is a series type so each cylinder sees the same pressure and you don't have to feather the stick like I have to do on the fel, the bucket is heavy duty, and I up'ed the cylinder sizes a tad from NH. NH cylinders are in increments of 1/4 inch (2 3/4...). Prince didn't other those so I went up to 3, etc. Now I just have to solve the bogging problem and I'm home free. The thing is definitely usable, just not optimized.
