Re: "hook lift" on a C60

The elevated pressure is needed for it to work, when loading it is working on the retract cycle of the cylinder so the effective area is piston area minus rod area. And when dumping you have the effective area of the piston but the geometry of the pivots and the fact that the cylinder is at a shallow angle requires more force to get it started.
