geezer Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 i would like to know how much can a cyl/pump lift in my '69 sovereign? i have a bucket for the front and when it is full it won't move it without help. the bucket is 42"x20"dx16"h. it will lift the snow thrower and dirt blade no problem . just a full load of dirt in the bucket is kinda slow in the lift dept. any help would be great. matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 My B-210 with hydraulic lift will lift about 200 lbs in my Johnny Bucket. Something that will help dramatically on the old ones with rear lift rods is to put a rear counterweight of some type on your rear lift, which help offset the weight in the bucket... Here's a picture of John Scheele's combination counterweight/weight box that he's designing to go with his Johnny Bucket. This pic includes idea sketches I sent about how he could easily add a "ripper" or scarifier to each side of the box... http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/uploaded/admin/down.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
