- John Deere 790 with loader LS xr3140h also with loader plus a cab
Wednesday, I bought a half ton bag of fertilizer. I was able to lift it high enough to drive the pick-up out from underneath the bag to unload it with the 790/300 loader, That is THE heaviest item it will lift. Late last spring I loaded some 800-900 lb. round bales for the neighbor. It has shims installed by the dealer set in the 2350 to 2400 psi range. Lifting at the "pivot point" it will do it and feels awkward, not really what the 790 was designed to do. Heavy lifting is best left for a bigger machine. Yes, the 790 does have limits
