Hey guys. So I know some of you have seen my posts and I really appreciate the replys! I've had my machine for about 4 months, been working on it since day one. I finally got her going and the dump and tilt is very slow. There's no leaks and I just rebuild the cylinders. But looking at it and my cylinders are almost double the size than the original seal kit. I thank they are from a backhoe. Is there anything I can do to make it tilt faster vs putting original cylinders on it.? Thanks in advance for the response.

You would have to put a hydraulic pump that supplies more flow on your machine. Larger cylinders take more volume of oil to move them the same linear distance than smaller ones. You need to be careful doing this. You don't want to put a larger pump than your circuit can handle. Too much flow can cause increased heat in your system. That being said, it may not take much more volume to get where you need to be.
