Loader tweak?

[chuck172]

Using pallet forks I lift a full pallet of firewood onto my six foot deck. My ck35 will just do it. I lifted a firewood pallet this morning and I swear if I had one extra stick I wouldn't have made it.
Is there anyway to safely goose (tweak ) the loader just a bit to handle this much needed chore?

You might want to post this in the hydraulics forum...

The relief valve can be adjusted to increase the pressure on the loader valve but you will need a pressure gauge to see what the current pressure is and how much you can increase it...

Good Luck...

Several slightly smaller loads.

Stack the heaviest pieces or a larger stack close to the backrest. The more weight further from the backrest the less total weight you'll be able to lift.

I'll be checking the psi at the loader relief valve. Specs call for 2000psi. Can I up it abit, say to 2500 psi. and still be in the safe zone?, Or should I stay at 2000psi.?

Again I defer to the more experienced guys in the hyd. forum... but IMO...check your hoses for condition and pressure ratings before boosting the pressure too much...2500 sounds like a little much I bumped mine up to about 2250 to make up for weight I've added in a tooth bar and the mounting bar for a thumb grapple...no issues on a '95' model B series Kub....
