I recently purchased WEN hydraulic cylinders for a project that I'm building... I'm building a mini towable backhoe/trencher.. It has a bucket on it that's about the size of a microwave... I ordered the 1.5" bore 10" stroke cylinders.. I haven't completed the project to know if they work correctly and are strong enough.. I'm not real familiar with hydraulics... In your personal opinion. Do you think that a 1.5" bore cylinder is big enough for my project? The boom arm is 3"x3" 1/4" Square tubing.. It is about 6 foot long with a small bucket... The boom and bucket all together probably weigh 150lbs.... I have my fingers crossed that they are big enough to dig small holes and lift the boom... Good vid, btw
