Hi, dozerbuilder from aussie here.
I wonder if anyone can help me please regarding the lift-ratings of these Magom aftermarket ram sets for a Bruder D11?

Reason being I've run into strife with the 7 x Firgelli's I bought last week and are considering ditching them and going hydraulic. The 26AWG wires are very stiff and just a few wiggles of the wires and they pull off the internal PCB's. At first I thought I had been a little rough in handling them but now I've changed my mind on that. The Frigelli's have very good strong pull/lift and do the job nicely, but the structural design is less than their strength and has pulled the piston end out of another so I've screwed 8mm rose joints in there with an added prayer. The wires cannot be soldered back onto the pcb successfully so I've had to solder them direct to the motor terminals, by-passing the cut-out at full extension/ retraction. Chinese made GRRRRRRR - I'm kicking myself for blowing $500 on these - my mistake.
The total blade lift required is 6kg (13.2 lbs) across the two lift rams. The 4-barrel ripper requires a total of 10kg (22lbs) to lift it over-center from the ripper drawbar pivot pin point. Measured accurately on a digital pull scale. Down-pressure is no issue, both are heavy enough to penetrate.
Photo 3 attached shows the blade . Photo 2c show the ripper angle.
So to know the lift capacity if the Magons would be a good starting point in assessing the switch to hyd.
Thanks in advance, all replies appreciated.
