So my feedback after a week of using alternative cylinders.
1) Same power but the port holes in and out are a little smaller so it moves a little slower.
Honestly I sorta prefer it, less possibility of hanky janky up and down movements with a full load bouncing the tractor around. So your alt hydros could go other way keep that in mind.
2) No welded stop points - so tipping the bucket 1 way matters not its a hard stop, I believe coming towards you there was a welded hard stop that is no longer present. Is this an issue? Perhaps if you lift the bucket up WAY high you can tip it back onto yourself. However you likely could do that before, tis just more prevalent now. I tend to be very mindful of not having a full bucket and having it fully extended, if so I give it full attention. However if your going to claim tractor is safe, I would argue your not using it right.
Outside of this I see no difference except price I am happy with my decision. Happy 3rd party parts shopping. Certain cylinders you may need the hard stops to not damage the machine in certain parts of your hydro chain, just be mind full of what your doing.
