A system (100) for increasing the working capacity of a hydraulic cylinder (52) comprises:- a hydraulic cylinder (52), a first connector (54) of which is connectable or has been connected to a hydraulic circulation (55) of a work machine - such as a tractor or excavator - for running a piston (52B) of the hydraulic cylinder (52) by means of hydraulic fluid via the first connector (54) to a first direction, and a second connector (53) of which has been connected to a hydraulic apparatus (1) when the piston (52B) is being run to the first direction for the collection of the hydraulic fluid, which exits the hydraulic cylinder (52), into a tank section (26) of the hydraulic apparatus (1) without counter pressure or at least essentially without counter pressure such as at atmospheric pressure.- the hydraulic apparatus (1) is connectable or has been connected to the hydraulic circulation (55) for the draining of the hydraulic fluid, which has accumulated in the tank section (26), into a drainage section (25) by means of hydraulic fluid that is run from the hydraulic circulation (55) so that the hydraulic fluid, which exits the tank section (26) into the hydraulic cylinder (52), runs the piston (52B) to said second direction.
