kioti lb1914 lift capacity

[fyrman1]

what is the rear lift capacity for an LB1914 if I attach a 3 pt hay bail spear to the rear? should it be able to lift 500 lbs? what is the front loader capacity?

I am thinking 500 should be easy, if it is some inches behind the pivot. My B6000E kubota, little bitty machine can handle 700lbs.

Key will be how far back behind machine will the weight be that you are lifting. I have no experience with hay, just rocks, more rocks and more rocks. Come to think of it, want to buy some rocks???

Good luck,
Joel

I looked on Tractordata.com, and it says you're rated for 1323 lbs. I would imagine that's at the lift eyes. So your lift capacity 24 inches behind the eyes would be around 925 lbs (70% of 1323). Another 24 inches behind that would be about 650lbs, (70% of 925). You shouldn't have any problem at all lifting a 500lb bale.

If by chance that lift capacity of 1323lbs is rated 24 inches behind the eyes, you have WAY more than enough capacity for a 500lb bale.

I believe it is ~1300 pounds at 24 inches behind the eyes with using the holes closer to the eyes to connect the links to the lift arms and ~1000 at 24 inches using the near holes. With the first set up I mentioned you have less range of motion. I can confirm that mine will lift 12 rounds each over 100 pounds on a wooden platform on top of a carry all. That's proabably 1,300 - 1,500 at 20 inches back.

This isn't the load I was talking about but probably weighed as much.
