Skidsteer Lift?

ROC's?

Don't understand ROC. All I know about that, it is a mythical enormous legendary bird of prey, or Republic of China.

I believe it might be Rated Operators Capacity's which from what I understand most skid steer owners say their machines will lift more than what rated for, safe ofcourse not but in a pinch it would be nice to have the lifting power when needed.

" My tractor does exceed what the manufacture says it should lift."

If your not concerned with the ROC's then yes a S185 will lift 3K.

Ditto. Any of those machines will lift 3k.

ROC is 50% if tipping weight, for a SS. ROC typically includes the bucket.

With enough counter weight, you could lift up to the cyls capacity.

It is safe to lift more than rated capacity. ROC is figured at the top of the lift pattern so lifting say waist high is still well within the margin of safety. Especially considering the lift pattern of a JD SS for example.

i dont beleive for a second your tractor can lift 3klbs. the bobcat specs list it at 2000ish pounds. the biggest wheeled bobcat ss is only rated at 3000 lbs lift, and will run circles around any compact tractor.

Well whether you believe it or not it does it all day long, I have no reason to lie. This is my second bobcat tractor that does it no problem, thats lift not curl or do much more than pick it up and move it from point a to b. Thats why I am looking into which SS that will do atleast what my tractor does in lift capacity, knowing SS handle loads much better.

BTW the load that I tested lift cap was bags of quickrete 2880 plus skid and forks...

I pick just picked 10 skids of bag salt off trailers that weighed almost 2600lbs with ease and could do whatever I wanted with them...

Do you always have an implement on the back? If you have a hyd gage in the system, what pressure does it read at max load.

Here is a test for you, if you can pick up seven 55 gal barrels of water, that would be 3080 lbs, or seventy eight bags of 80 lbs of cement would weigh about 3040 lbs. .

Why does he need to do that? He already stated what he can lift.
