LA524 and L3200 lift capacities
brochure says 524 lift cap is any where between 855# and 1490# depending on where the load is in relation to the "pivot pin". I take it that the pivot pin is the pin on the loader end of the bucket hydraulic piston. So instead of "scooping" up alog and having the weight 12-20" forward of the pin then I should be able to hook a set of chains and a set of tongs and tilt the bucket so that the grabs are directly under the pivot pins and be close to max lift?? this is a question, not a statement.
Also, L3200 3pt is listed at 1998# at the line between the lift arms. And 1435# 24" outside of the the point hook up. So if I made a 30" boom to lift logs with a set of grabvs I should be able to lift roughly 1200# if I build the boom right and adjust my lift armsXXXXXXXXXXXXX?
The state is going to widen our main paved road so the yankee visitors can stay to the very last minute to get off the beach and out of the area when a hurricane comes. The widening of our main road has taken all of the builidings in downtown. We have only 1 gas station left and the post office. That's about it.
Anyway, the state and immenent domain (sp) are going to get about 150' of my front yard. My front yard is full of 100+ year old pines. They are going to pay as much for a stump field as they will for those old pines, SO... I'm going to harvest them. I cut down three of them several months ago and my 11K trailer could only handle 2.5 of the trees and I know it was over loaded then. But luckily I only had to haul them about 4 miles to the mill.
I'm needing to get just a little extra lift power out of my FEL and 3 PT. Can someone point me in the right direction to "upping" my lift capacity without burning up or blowing all my hoses.
Thanks in advance,
