I borrowed a load cell from work today (vacation day, 29 degrees Celsius) and did a little experimenting. First I did the pull test (tough little Black spruce) connected to the draw bar, as level a pull as possible, rpm's at 2000, low range, no jerking, just ease in as slow as it would go and the weight on the back is 445 kgs (I weighed it as well) and it pulled 1645 kgs. I did this three times and they were all within 15-20kgs of each other. Second I used my truck as I didn't think I could pick it up clear of the ground with the trailer hitch, but to my surprise it cleared the ground, this may not be a really good test as the loader pivot point is not at its furthest point from the tractor which would be it's worst case. That was as close to the truck I wanted to get in case the chain let go. Third was just the weight itself. Hope you enjoy.
