bigger cylinders

dbelisle · Oct 11, 2006

I was looking over a 3015 with FL today and paid a great deal
of attention to the loader.........

I have a 2810 HST. A heavier tractor than the 3015....

The ML 110 looks like the ML 108 with same gauge steel , but the lift cylinders are larger.........

Is this the case, or am I missing something.....
It looks like the cylinders would fit on the 108 FL ?

Not sure changing the cylinders is something I would do.
but I am out of warranty and it would be nice to pick up 300 or 400 pounds more..... Just thinking about it ..............

I've been thinking the very same thing. I'd rather have the extra power and add ballast, although with the same bucket, I don't think much more ballast would be needed.

If you are going to do anything with the cylinders, use the cylinders off the Mahindra 3215 with the ML111 loader, you will gain better lifting capacity by far.

How expensive are they?
Would both lift and curl cylinders fit?

The bucket tilt cylinders will not make any improvement.
Check your PM for pricing.

Yeah, 2 days ago, with my new 3215 G, I lifted an object that weighed exactly 1382 lbs. It lifted it with ease, although I only had to raise the bucket 6 feet. I have substantial rear ballast, a 580 lb box blade. Actually, the specs say this tractor can lift 1410 lbs (at pivot pins) all the way up to full height! Fortunately for safety's sake, with this particular heavy lift the tractor was on hard, level ground, and I didn't have to drive anywhere.......
