My loader won't crack

[fcamillieri]

I have a CK20 with the older, 2006, loader and it hasn't cracked. I've been using it pretty hard for 150 hours and doing what my farmer friend says shouldn't be done. He keeps telling me that the loader is on the front and the digger is on the back. I've even used the corner of the loader to dig up some pretty large rocks. Do I just have an exceptional loader?

Those look to be some heavy loads, I don't think I would have thought about putting something that big on my KL130 loader. Can we get a better shot of the torque tube on your loader?

I don't have any pictures of the torque tube but it is the old stye and doesn't have the reinforcement installed.

Just a suggestion but if you wish to lift that type of load on a regular basis perhaps you should make provisions so the load can't come back and sit on your lap or on the loader rams!

My B7100 would not lift that load.

I cheated a bit. The loader wouldn't lift it so I ran it up against a snowbank for some help. I kept it low enough so there was no danger of it coming over the top. The largest one was probably close to 1000 lbs plus it was hung out over the front of the bucket.

Awwwwww shucks! My CK20 can do that too. I'll try lifting the same block of wood only bigger. look here:

These darn CK20 drivers around here, one tells a whopper and the next one swears to it.

What did you do, RIMSHOT, photoshop the backhoe out of your shot?

I can't see how your tractor does not tip forward with no ballast. I thought
balsa wood was a tropical tree.

Rimshot, why would you need a tractor like that just to move kindling around ?
