I have a Mahindra max 28 and am debating what to do. My brother gave me a set of forklift forks to use on my tractor (forks only). This series of tractor does not have a (quick attach system). So here is my dilemma
FEL has a lift of { 1402 lbs @ pivot pins } according to the brochure.
3pt has a lift of { 2205 lbs @ ? } according to the brochure. It didn't specify if at the ends of the arms.......
I can make a quick attach for the loader to install the forks or utilize the 3pt for its lifting capacity. It would certainly be used if placed on either end of the tractor but which end- to get the most lift would make the most sense. I will not be placing heavy things high on shelves and have a great loading dock, "hill/bank for loading 4 wheeler lawnmower into bed of truck". I would like to transport palletized wood/engines and other heavy things more easily though. Perhaps there is someone who has used both variations could give some insight on the use of their forks.
Also, does someone have the formula to calculate the 2205 to the bar ends? Maybe that is the quoted weight limit at the ends? I am unsure.
I am certain that any load I move would be safer at the rear of the tractor, we all tend to push the limits of them from time to time. Here is the Pdf that I got the info from.
