How Much Lift Can You Get Increasing Hydraulic Pressure on My Kubota Tractor?

Overview

This video is specifically about quantifying the lift gain from shimming the hydraulic pressure relief valve on a Kubota BX tractor. The owner runs controlled before-and-after tests at 1750 PSI versus 2000 PSI, using real weights on pallet forks and a direct chain-to-truck pull, landing on concrete numbers: 232 lbs more on forks, roughly 300 lbs more at the pin. Useful for BX owners already considering this mod who want actual measured results rather than just a how-to.

An owner-operator hobby homesteader sharing hands-on experiments from their own property, with no apparent commercial affiliation to Kubota or a dealership.
