758C BH lifting capacity

[Dave1953]

There are times when it would be easier in tight places to lift something with the BH instead of the FEL. I don't recall any statisics on lifting power, just digging force in lbs. The dipperstick has appx 2500 lbs of digging force. Could one conclude that the hyd. cylinder could lift the same weight with the cylinder going the other way? I won't hold anyone responsible for your opinion since I am ultimately responsible with what I do with my tractor. Maybe some of you have used yours to lift. Any info appreciated.

Dave, I have not seen any lift specs on my 758C but can tell you that it will lift a GM 350 motor (but not at full extension). Also I have had some big stumps that the BH would not lift but was able to lift them with the 7308 loader (1100# capacity).Bill C

Well, that tells me that it won't lift near as much as the loader (14LA) Thanks.

Yea, I got the same owners manual but like you, weren't suscessful in finding any numbers. I guess if I need to lift something with it it will either lift it or it won't. I always have the 14LA loader and It will lift much more than the BH. Thanks for the input.
