Hello All from Australia
I have no experience with tractors and am looking at buying a sub compact tractor for my 2 acres. I have a question about rear lift capacity on the MF GC2400.
Browsing the MF website I notice that they list the GC2400 lift capacity @ 24" behind the ball ends at only 550 Ibs which is significantly less than any of the other sub compact tractors.
The MF "compare" webpage for the GC2400 lists the following stats for rear lift capacity @ 24":
Boomer 1025 700lbs
JD 2305 680lbs
Kubota BX2360 670lbs
MF GC2400 550lbs
These are the figures given by Massey Ferguson so presumably they know the capacity of the GC2400.
Even the little CubCadet has a lift around 670lbs.
The lift capacity for the GC2400 at the ball ends is 1191lbs which is more than the BX2360 at 992lbs
How can the GC2400 have more lift than the BX2360 at the ball ends but significantly less at 24" behind the ball ends"?
Which figure is more important for carrying stuff on the carryall, capacity at the ball ends or at 24" behind the ball ends?
Thanks for any replies.
