I would like to know if the lifting specs Kubota publishing for loaders and backhoes are governed mainly by available ballast or hydraulic limits. For example, my B21 specs say the loader lifting capacity is 926 lbs while the ballast (backhoe) just happens to be 986 lbs. Conversely, the backhoe specs say the lifting capacity is a little lower at just under 800 lbs which considering ballast seems to makes sense if lifting out further from the center of gravity. If I have the backhoe attached plus 400 lbs of liquid ballast in my tires, does this significantly increase my loader's lifting capacity, or will the hydraulics stall just above the 926 lb specs regardless? In general, what have you guys experienced when you try to exceed specified lifting capacities (carefully of course)?
Thanks,
