The John Deere sites online brochure for the 4000 series shows the CX 400 loaders capacity at 2194 lbs to full height at the pivot pins.
Vince,
You make a good point. My previous post was for regular loaders and not self-leveling loaders. Yes, the 400CX's pivot pin's are at 2194lbs and the 500mm is at 2339lbs. The 400CX is a mechanical self-leveling loader so it is stronger at 500mm. When lifting something with a regular loader, the force exerted by the bucket's load tends to make the bucket want to tip outward. On a mechanical self-leveling type loader like the 400CX, the mechanical linkages causes the bucket's outward tip force to be exerted on the linkage apparatus which applies the lift force to the arms; in turn this helps to augment the loader's hydraulic lift capacity.
