First, it's expensive to buy the cylinders, hoses, and plumbing. There's little point in not adding down pressure when doing the upgrade, so that will most likely mean three cylinders.

The trip bucket's geometry may prove demanding when you try to fit the dump cylinder. Everything on the loader will need to be stiffened to accomodate the new stresses, so allow for lots of welded support pieces.

When finished it's worth it, but in the case of my MF35 it took twenty hours of fabrication and about $2000 CDN to upgrade an old Freeman loader to fully hydraulic status.
