    You just took the mystery out of replacing seals in the lift arms. I've always removed the entire cylinder and brought it to a hydraulic shop. The next one I'm going to try on my own. Thank you. Your Bobcat videos are amazing. Bobcat should pay you since you're teaching Bobcat owners like myself to become more familiar and comfortable with owning our Bobcat equipment.

    I worked as a cylinder tech for 5 years. I have a couple of tips for you.
    1. Invest in smaller picks for more control, When peeling seals out. If you make a burr, the oil will follow it to bypass seals.
    2. Flathead screwdrivers work wonders when putting in the u-seal. Feed the u-seal into the groove, and when the last little bit is sticking up use a wide flathead to push the rest down.
    3. If you do make a burr with your big pick, you can use alittle sand paper to level it out, don’t over do it.
    4. If you have burrs or pitting on your rod, you can polish them out. That’s what usually chews through the u-seal.

    Your videos are great. I especially like the format and camera work that you do. No nonsense and no hype just straight forward information.
    I was wondering if you have considered doing a video on older bobcats or maybe just skid steers and mini ex in general that are good candidates for homeowner guys like me that are worth purchasing and putting time into and which ones you think are good to avoid due to bad design or due to parts availability or any other pitfalls that turn these things into lawn ornaments.
    Anyway thank you for taking your time out to make all these
