With all the talk recently about how much these little loaders can lift I borrowed a dynamometer to check the weight of a pine I cut down. I thought it was heavier than it was but from the photos you can see that the 210 loader is capable of lifting this log (600 lbs) close to the maximun lift height. I'm not entirely sure of what this may tell you so draw your own conclusions. We do know that these loaders can lift more the closer they are to the ground. Notice that the lift point on bucket top is well away from the pivot pins. Also I did not curl the bucket to lift the log off the ground.
