Cranking Up My Tractor Hydraulic Pressure - Is it Safe? Is it Smart?

An owner-operator on a John Deere 2038R walks through actually adjusting the hydraulic pressure relief valve, removing it, working it in a vise, and dialing it from roughly 2,800 up to 3,000 PSI, then measures the real-world lift improvement (18 inches to 64 inches with the same load). He also gives a frank, nuanced take on warranty implications. Best for 2038R owners considering this specific modification.
