Getting more lifting power for a LA211 loader

[Zorm]

Watched a video this weekend how a Kubota owner got a little more lofting power for his loader by adding a small shim kit to the hyd. control valve. Has anyone, or is there a kit like that for the BX2200 or LA211 loader? thanks

What you are describing is increasing the hydraulic system pressure on your tractor. The shims are readily available - proceed at your own ridk.

If you want more lifting power from your loader, buy a bigger tractor.

I will disagree with both above - while lifting more is better with a larger tractor, I do not think buying a new tractor with more capacity is WHAT you asked.

Their argument is Kubota built it that way for a reason - yeah I get that, with lawyers and what not we have more safety guards on machinery to keep us safe yet stupid people can find a way to hurt or kill themselves!


Here is a video

(you may have watched this one) of exactly HOW to do it. But be careful - shim too much and you will mess up more than the limit of the tractor!

I would stay with that .4mm shim BTW

check the capacity of your front tires !!!!

The kits come with a pressure gauge, for good reason. I wouldn't increase the pressure above the high spec.
