Boost Your BX23S Lifting Power by 35% with this Hydraulic Cylinder Upgrade!
A RITTER BIT WILL DO· Oct 2023
✦
Overview
This video doesn't actually install or test the upgrade yet, it's the unboxing and explanation stage. The owner compares a Hydros Plus aftermarket loader cylinder (1.75-inch bore) against the factory BX23S cylinder (1.5-inch bore), citing math claiming 35% more lift capacity (roughly 8,800 to 11,880 lbs) plus about 11.5 inches more lift height. Rain delayed the actual install, so no hands-on results are shown here.
An owner-operator promoting a hydraulic cylinder product in partnership with its maker, Hydros Plus, so expect enthusiasm for the upgrade rather than independent skepticism.
