The 1600 doing a day work (or 2)

Just got done filling silo. The hydrapower that fixed itself is still working like new.

Looks like the exact same loader we had on our 1550. Glad to hear the hydra-power fixed itself.

Ayup, a Farmhand/Dunham-Lehr Model 22! Nice loader

Ya,I just don't care much for that single bucket cylinder setup. If you look real close you can see the brackets I put up on top in front for two cylinders. I use them on the WorkSaver Balehand. One of these days I'm gonna invest in a set of quick attach brackets and put them on that and the bucket so I can switch back and forth and use the 2 cylinder setup on the bucket too.

The "theory" behind the tilt cylinder to the bottom of the bucket & the lift arm attachments higher is that when tilting back the bucket lip goes forward and up creating a better "scooping" action.
I guess it's just their propaganda?

I also have an earlier Dunham-Lehr on my 3910, but it has the smaller diameter lift cylinders, which is good with the light front end setup.

Book says the 2.5" lift cylinders give a lift capacity of 2800 lbs, and the 2" cylinders give a lift capacity of 1800 lbs.

I get a whole lot less twist in it with two cylinders. Another thing with that single cylinder pushing,it wears the heck out of the pin holes for the bucket end of the loader frame.
