Yep, that's the one I bought, awaiting (free) delivery.

You're thinking backwards as in normal cylinder function. (PSI x Cylinder Area = Force). A larger cylinder WILL provide more Force at the same PSI in the normal function. This situation is not normal cylinder function. It's reversed.
When dragging implements it's: Force x Cylinder Area = PSI
Now, go back to your chair and think about it. This class is over.

Might want to check your math.You're thinking backwards as in normal cylinder function. (PSI x Cylinder Area = Force). A larger cylinder WILL provide more Force at the same PSI in the normal function. This situation is not normal cylinder function. It's reversed.

It's Force÷Cylinder Area=PSI

Thinking out loud here and lets exaggerate the size to show more precisely. Won't a 10 m2 piston moving 1 mm create more pressure in a 1 cm hose connected to it than a 1 m2 piston moving also 1 mm? Much more fluid wants to move on the first example than the second.

Well, that can make sense for about 94.7% of the world but you know, those guys in the States are still stuck in inches...

Make sure to measure your current top link retracted/extended lengths. My L3940 takes the 12". Many cylinders also have 2 or 2 1/2" pistons to choose from.

Might want to consider deleting or editing this very incorrect information.You're thinking backwards as in normal cylinder function. (PSI x Cylinder Area = Force).

This is how people continue to spew mis-information....because they "read it somehwere on the internet".
You are wrong.....and contributing to further confusion in this thread. Do us all the favor and delete both your posts if you dont want to discuss it like adults and perhaps learn something. Ya know.....being cocky is only great if you are actually right

YES, it will move more fluid. But thats not the scenerio. The fluid is contained within the cylinder and hoses.....and cannot move unless the valve is opened....or the hose blows. Exerting force back on the cylinder.....the larger cylinder has greater area to distribute the load....therefore the force PER SQUARE INCH is smaller.....since there are MORE square inches to share the load.
Ever wonder how a little wrist action on a grease gun can generate 10000 psi of pressure with very little outside force? Its because the piston/plunger is tiny. Same way with bottle jacks, floor jacks, etc. Using your logic.....if you had a huge piston moving ALOT of grease or oil....your little wrist action could generate more pressure. Think about that

But the thing is, it's liquid and the valve prevents the fluid from going anywhere so in the hose, pressure will be higher...

Already measured my top link fully retracted and fully extended. The hydraulic top link is the same size retracted and gives me one more inch extended.
