It records specific peak-pull figures in high and low range, four-wheel drive, and tests whether pedal travel affects output. Results are informal backyard science, not lab conditions, but the before/after comparison gives 1025R owners something concrete to chew on.

Yes, the test showed pushing the pedal further down produced at least another hundred pounds of pull in the last inch of pedal travel, contrary to popular belief.
After changing the hydraulic fluid and filter and cleaning the screen, pull numbers were higher in both high and low range compared to before the service.
Before the hydraulic service it pulled 1720 pounds in low range; after the oil and filter change it measured 2214 to 2463 pounds.
No, the video states there was nothing on the hydraulic filter screen, both before and after the fluid and filter change.
