Pretty sure TractorData got it wrong. I'm guessing they cite shipping weight (they arrive in steel "crates"). You're pretty much lookin' at a 2700 pound tractor. But I may be using old data on the lift capacity, those little Jinmas had a wimpy lift capacity from the git-go. After all, they started life as 18hp tractors. So 975 pounds suggests they finally went to a stronger pump, but it still won't handle the 1200-1500 pound bales we move around here. And those aren't even the big ones. Neither one of my tractors can handle big 6' round bales or 8' square bales. They both can weigh in at up to a ton each.
