LOADER BUCKET CYLINDERS

[BARNACLE BILL]

NEED SOME ADVICE. I'M WANT TO "HYDRAULICIZE" THE TRIP BUCKET ON MY FORD 3000 LOADER. WOULD A PAIR OF 1-3/4 IN. BORE / 1-1/16 IN. ROD / 23 IN. STROKE CYLINDERS BE SOMETHING I SHOULD START WITH ?? WOULD THEY BE STRONG ENOUGH ?? MOVING SNOW WILL BE ABOUT ITS HEAVIEST WORK LOAD.

Hey Bar Bil you might want to ask this question in the customization or hydraulic forum. Did anyone ever tell you that when you type in all capital letters it is like you are shouting? Tends to annoy some people! Might want to take your caps lock off. Good luck on your project!

THANK YOU --- I'LL TRY THE HYDRAULIC SECTION.
YUP -- I'VE BEEN TOLD ABOUT THE CAPS -- AND THE SHOUTING -- BUT I'M REALLY NOT. SINCE I'M NOT REALLY GOOD AT THIS TYPING STUFF --- I DO WHATEVER IS SIMPLE. LOWER CASE NEEDS CAPS AT DIFFERENT PLACES -- UPPER CASE DOESN'T. THE PEOPLE THAT GET TO KNOW ME KNOWS I AM NOT SHOUTING BUT JUST SENDING A MESSAGE -- THE SIMPLE WAY. SORRY IF IT OFFENDED YOU.
AGAIN --- THANKS FOR THE REPLY.

BARNACLE BILL, GO TO ANY TRACTOR PLACE AND SEE WHAT SIZE CYLINDERS THEY HAVE ON SIMILAR SIZED LOADERS AS YOURS. THAT WOULD BE A GOOD RULE OF THUMB TO START WITH. WHAT YOU SUGGESTED DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A BAD CHOICE. MAYBE SOME OF THE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE HYDRAULIC MEMBERS WILL WEIGH IN ON THIS. NOT YELLING, JUST SAYING!
