P.F. Engineering replied: (quote) "if you do the math on a pair of 2" bore hydraulic cylinders running at 1000 PSI you'll find their lifting capacity to be well in excess of 540LBS. and with filled rear tires and a few hundred pounds of counterweight on a 1000LB tractor, lifting 540LBS is not an impossible task."

mark- perhaps what you wrote and what you were thinking were two different things, i was responding to what i saw in writing. i apologize if i seem a bit forward here, but i do feel the need to defend the integrity of my customer and my web site from accusatory statements. Al Zimmerman owns and operates heavy equipment for a living and is no stranger to metal fabrication or the principals involved in lifting heavy objects with a hydraulic front end loader. i place full trust in his abilities to construct and operate his loader without questioning whether the photos he sent me were manufactured or re-touched.
