I just replaced a stabilizer cylinder that was beyond repair. I could use the old cylinder for a quick test, no load. Also have to replace a few hoses on both pieces of equipment, so while I'm doing that I'm thinking if I hooked up to one of the stabilizers, that could tell me if it works and how much force it applies... JD310 is also 13,000 lbs, not sure how much the stabiliers take not the full 13k lbs. Think that would be a good way to test? Or would that be too much strain for the BC? I could also hook up to a cylinder on the boom if the stabilizer would be too much, would that be safer? The only other concern is the JD has Tractor Supply Universal Hydro fluid- would a few ounces left in the cylidner cause any issue if it mixed into the BC hydro system? https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/traveller-premium-universal-tractor-trans-hydraulic-fluid-806391?store=1119&cm_mmc=organic_feed-_-GoogleShopping-_-Product-_-806391&utm_source=Shopping&utm_medium=ECOMM&utm_content=Feed&utm_campaign=Core&cid=Shopping-ECOMM-Core--33&gclid=CjwKCAjwoNuGBhA8EiwAFxomA6gTBEKB3zqsKzSsNPDLkgBOtxEtZhAFRaOECLt2OJZcpwCsqe3jahoCy1EQAvD_BwE</p></blockquote><p></p>
