Description
HydrosPlus Lift+ Scale is an analog way to understand how much weight you have on your loader. The kit comes will everything you need to connect and mount it to your 1 or 2 Series John Deere Tractors. It can be made to fit other applications, and I will be adding model specific kits in the future, but at the moment, this kit is only certified to fit 1 and 2 series tractors. Installation is simple. The kit is fully assembled, and you only need to plumb it into the piston side of your loader circuit and mount it with a single bolt at the top of your right hand side loader mast. Once installed, you calibrate the scale by lifting to the height that you plan to weigh at, and documenting the baseline pressure. From there, you can add a known weight and use the following formula to get the pounts per psi – (Total PSI – baseline PSI)/known weight) For example, assume the baseline PSI was 200 (the weight of the loader empty). Then you added a known weight of 200lbs and that increased the PSI to 500. You can then run the following numbers: (500-200)/200=1.5psi per pound of weight. From there, if you went to lift a bucket of sand and the PSI showed 1700 psi, you would then know that your bucket of sand weighed 1000lbs.
