More Backhoe Strength for $14 - What You Need to Know to Raise Hydraulic Pressure - Kubota BX23S

A hands-on owner walkthrough of raising hydraulic pressure on a BX23S to improve backhoe digging force. The video covers sourcing a sub-$15 pressure gauge from Amazon, connecting it to existing backhoe fittings, locating the pressure relief valve, shimming the spring with shop washers, and dialing in a target of 2000 PSI. It's procedurally detailed but ends before any real-world digging test. Best for BX23S owners comfortable tinkering who want a step-by-step guide rather than performance results.
