It shows a before/after crane-scale pull test (chain, stump, digital scale) to measure stock lift capacity, then walks through pulling all four cylinders, swapping in the larger units, bleeding the system, and a rough retest. Best for L3901/similar Kubota owners considering this specific upgrade.
An owner-operator DIY channel testing a product sent by the cylinder manufacturer, so treat the results as an enthusiastic first impression rather than independent long-term testing.
Pull the two pins on each cylinder, disconnect the hoses remembering which goes where, pop in the new cylinder, reinsert the pins, and reconnect the hoses.
The cylinders are advertised to give up to a 30% increase in lift capacity, and after install the curl function pulled the scale to 2,256 lb.
The installer said it would take about twenty minutes to a half hour, and without filming it likely would have taken that long.
The host says it might void warranties and could put extra stress on components, but should be okay if used properly with correct ballast and counterweight.
